Visitor Visa for Mother and Nephew (7yrs age)

[chakrakr]

ask yourself if you were a parent...would you want an in-law to be able to apply for a visa for your child without you being aware? IF you were a VO, tasked with the responsibility of preventing international child abduction, and some relative showed up at your window with a child in tow asking for a visa, what would you do?

You have tried all different arguments like "how the child will get 2 month vacation in April" to " what are his ties back home" and now trying the last straw -- "abduction theory". Stop your wild imagination and scaring people .

If returning to parents is not a strong tie nothing in the world is a strong tie

Well said.

Forget about all the above BS.

Just do what 'chakrakr' said.

Thanks Rahul. Indeed empty vessel sounds much. OP, go ahead with interview. To be safer, in addition to notarized letter, carry notarized copy of parents passport (or other ID), child's birth certificate -- original (this is must), any family photographs, your brother's birth certificate if available (this and child's BC will proved that your mother is indeed your nephew's grandma) and school letter.

Any visa is a gamble but there deos not seem to be any added risk in this case. In fact, that the parents are staying back is probably a positive sign. If you are still in doubt , consult an attorney (Murthy has an extension in Chennai).

Don't forget to take your nephew to Disney .
