HELP!! Mother-in-law went for visa interview (B-2) in Beijing yesterday and was rejected. The VO just asked to see her daughter's (my wife) identification papers. My mother-in-law presented copies of my wife's probationary green card and extension form (we are waiting for her 10yr to be approved right now). After looking at the green card, VO said that he could not approve her for a visa because my wife looked like she had intentions to immigrate. My wife, not my mother-in-law. I don't understand this, because my wife has already immigrated and applied for a 10 yr greencard. What is the VO talking about? We prepared all the suggested materials listed on this forum and embassy website and they didn't even look at it: invitation letters, property deed, bank statements, pension letters, etc. What should we do? My wife is going to give birth to our son in July and we were really hoping that her mother would be able to help for the first 5 months before returning back to China. And maybe come again in the future. Now that she was dinged once, how soon can she apply again? Is it futile now? Should she apply at a different consulate? Should she go through a visa agency? I really don't know what else to do to prove that she doesn't plan on living in the US permanetly, especially if the VO chooses not to look at any of the materials. Thanks in advance for your advice!
