Visitor Visa Rejected - Please advise

[boltz]

Hi,

No, dual/multiple reasons for a visit are not likely to confuse a visa officer.

The key issue - as I see it - is the duration of the visit which indicates lack of ties to India.... and even for the purpose indicated in your Invitation Letter, the duration cannot be justified as such. Hence, you may want to consider a visit of shorter duration.

Both your in-laws have individual/collective strong ties to India.... however, I feel they have not presented their documents + Purpose of Visit in the right way.... also they substituted evidence of their strong ties with Affidavits. If these issues are resolved then they will get their TRVs when they reapply


Cheers

So, this 2nd time, planning the visit for short duration (may be 2 months). My confusion - first time applied for longer duration; and 2nd time I am mentioning shorter duration.

Would this be a concern in any way? The fact is, we have revised the travel plans due to 1st rejection - this is permissible, correct?

Yes its actively farmed. Have the land document. Yes it fetches income. The income is declared into balance sheets that are rolled up to income tax returns each year.

How and where do I present this fact in a concise and clear manner? Appreciate any advise. Thank you.

You could prepare an Explanation XX: My Strong Ties to India.... showing Family/Property/Finances/etc ties in separate tables

Table XX: 'My Property Ownership'..... point-wise details of the property/land + value + income earned through farming + land not mortgaged

Table XX: 'My Financial Situation'.... point-wise details of all income/investments/dividends/jewelry evaluation, etc + total value of this in CAD and INR

Won't be a problem.... situations change, plans change

Is there a single entry visa in existence? Would it make a difference if I ask of single as opposed to multiple. I donot find an option in appln to ask for single entry.not sure if I am missing something. Pls advise. Thanks

Applications are considered for multiple-entry even if applicants request for single entry.... however, the decision to issue a MEV is at the discretion of the visa officer.... in instances where SEVs are issued, the visa officer will make case notes for the reason

Hi,

This is super fantastic

Very happy for you and your family.... all the hard work has paid off (and no more torture ha ha)


I'm quite confident your FIL would've got a TRV too. Maybe next time


btw how long did it take after you submitted your MIL's application? And is the TRV validity until her passport validity?


Hmmmm I also struggled with visas of different types for different countries.... I picked up things along the way..... this is one of my ways of giving back to the community.... and helping people if I can


I wish your MIL a good, safe trip.... and a wonderful holiday with you and your family


Cheers

Hello, i saw the details and u said they had a USA visit. So there should not be any rejection. The main reason is only you showed a long stay in application form. I am a travel agent mainly i apply visitor visas of canada and US. So i advise you to reapply as a tourist and dont mention any sponsership or else. Just make a hotel booking for 7-10 days and all other documents. They will definately give u visa. And after getting visa they can stay there upto 6 months. Good luck

Hi Om,

There is no sponsorship of any kind.... this is a case of refused TRVs for multiple reasons.... despite having traveled to the US previously + a valid US visa.

To cut a long story short (and without repeating the points in this thread).... his MIL got her TRV this time


Cheers

Thank u for ur wishes... Will try for FIL after some time... I wanted to get the business registration document for him before I can give it a 2nd try. Thank u.

To ur Q -
Vfs office - hyd
Submitted on 1/jul later half of the day
Appln sent to Bangalore the same day
Stamped on 9/ jul
PP received on 10 / jul.

And yes TRV validity until her PP validity - unfortunately here, it was for just 1.5+ years here - but that's good enough for our needs at present - we never had any intensions nor thoughts on period beyond a year to embark upon her 3-5 month trip- so we are quite content with what we got. ;D

Processing was quite fast.... it goes to show that a well-thought out application can help the visa officer to make a (positive) decision quickly
