Single girl applying for B2 visa with her parents... what are my chances?

[pr28]

Hi... I'm a single Indian woman (actually I do have a boyfriend and have been in a long term relationship for some years...) and I'm applying for a B2 visa along with my parents to go visit my younger brother who's currently working in the USA. We also want to visit  a few tourist attractions while we're there. My question is, what are my chances?? I have been refused a tourist visa twice to visit my brother last year but back then I applied alone and this time I'm planning to travel with my parents so would this make any difference? I'm also working in a financial company for the past 7 months... Last time, I applied I was working for a different company. So what are my chances of getting approved as well as my parents?? Thanks.

 

Btw, I'm 29years old and from India.

Don’t appear to be much improvement in merit but good luck anyways.

your application will not be strengthened by applying with your parents....they have no legal control over your actions....short term employment and being young and single are all red flags....who gets an extended vacation after just a few months in a new job? Virtually no one....a new job is not a strong tie, since you have nothing to lose by abandoning it....I would not expect an approval, no matter what your parents might try to say during their interview - they cannot, for example, 'take responsibility' for you, since you are an adult.

Over here in India, it's not uncommon for an employee to get at least a 15 day vacation sanctioned after working there for more than six months. Especially when you say you are travelling abroad with your family, employers are way more likely to grant it.

nonetheless, a job of less than a year is not a strong reason to return...and lots of people say they are going to stay 15 days, but instead end up staying permanently...what you say about that time is largely meaningless....COs know that our border folks routinely admit people for six months....and again, applying with your parents will not make your case better or stronger....you are an adult...and not subject to their control.

Then you really don't know Indian parents... 😂😂😂

Lol  (Indian parents are like any other the world over.. some Indian parents are controlling of a 29-yr old daughter, others allow more independence). Throw a boyfriend in the mix, and things change. 

You and the OP appear to share some similarities.  Did you get the B2 you were applying for a year ago?

Lol mine are definitely on the controlling side. I'm too scared to even tell them I have a boyfriend.

Cool. 

Were you asked to present any documents to the CO?  Or interview questions only.

Just questions... not a single document asked by the CO. I was only asked two questions and that's it.

Nope, got rejected.

Maybe I should apply with my parents too? 😂😂
