I am Johnny. I am an F1 student having graduate research assistantship and reached USA in 1st week of January. My mother has attended B1 visa interview in India on her company, and received a 214B last week. So now, how can I sponsor my mother? What are the chances of visa getting approved? What time gap I need to maintain? How would you suggest me to sponsor her? Thank You, Regards
Your mother received a 214B rejection based on the consul’s belief that she would not return to the home country if she was issued a B-1 visa. I note that a B-1 visa is for business. There is the possibility that your mother may be allowed a B-2 visa to stay with you if you can prove that you and she were members of the same household and living together during all these years. There is more leniency these days to allowing nuclear members of a family to remain together where an adult child or spouse is coming or is in the U. S. pursuant to a long-term nonimmigrant visa.
