An Indian student in the US took to Reddit and expressed her woes as her parents were denied a tourist visa from the Mumbai consulate. Of late, several incidents of Indians, including entrepreneurs, being denied tourist visas to the US have been reported. Visa officers have the right to reject visa applications of any individuals if they find during the interview of the applicant that they might not return to their own country and continue staying in the US. There are other reasons too for visa denials, including past law enforcement cases.
The Indian student said her parents were only asked three questions and based on the answers they decided that her parents should not be granted tourist visas to the US. "They were asked only three questions. Purpose of visit, what does your daughter study and where do you stay? That's it and they rejected the visa," the student posted. "I don't understand how from these 3 questions it decided that my parents don't have strong ties back home," she wrote.
