My visitor visa got cancelled on family ties and purpose of visit

[aksinghak]

Hi,

I am studying law in India and will be completing my course in May 2019. I had applied for visitor visa along with my parents to visit my brother with my parents, My Parents visa got approved but mine got rejected with reason that I have not satisfied that I will return back to India. I am single and have no financial assets in my name.
What additional document I should attach to get the visitor visa

Just to clarify: Your TRV application has been refused i.e. you have been denied a visa, and your visa application has not been cancelled.


1. How long did you want to visit? And when?

2. Immigration status of your brother and if it is temporary residence then when does it expire?

3. Have you traveled to other visa-required countries?

4. Are you interning in a law firm? Or do you have a job offer that will be taking up after you get your license to practice?

Yes, I denied the visa.


1. How long did you want to visit? And when?
would like to visit for two weeks along with my parents to attend convocation of my brother, in second week of June 2019.

2. Immigration status of your brother and if it is temporary residence then when does it expire?
He is on study permit, which is valid till end of November 2019

3. Have you traveled to other visa-required countries?
Yes, during last 5 years visited Kulalumpur, Bali, Doha, earlier visited Hong Kong, Macau, Dubai and when I was kid, to UK, France, Netherland, Belgium. Shall I mentioned traveled before 5 years also?

4. Are you interning in a law firm? Or do you have a job offer that will be taking up after you get your license to practice?

Currently interning with a law firm, which will finish in April 2019. Hopefully to get job offer shortly.

One more point, last week I got my US visitor visa. Under online application if I choose tourism and mentioned about my US visa, document requirement is less. Can I apply for Tourism instead of Visiting Family and Friends, do not know what is the difference?

Chances are pretty slim given your employment situation, economic situation and no ties to home country.

Having got my US visa, can I apply for tourism instead of visiting Family and Friends, what is the difference in these two

IMO, you might have some chance of a TRV approval if you work really hard to prepare your paperwork.


1. Do you have a letter from your employer for your internship? If yes, does it have a clause/statement that says, you might be offered employment after the internship?

2. The only catch is your brother's study permit expires in November.... which is not too months away + you probably intend to visit in June i.e. after your law studies are completed (no study ties to return to)


Here's another case which was similar to yours which I had helped. You could get some pointers:

Thanks for advise,
Will try to prepare covering letter accordingly and hopefully will get a letter of employment.

As requested will it make a difference or create a problem, in purpose of visit, instead of choosing "visiting family and friends" if I choose "Tourism", since I have US visitor visa for 10 years.

Highly unlikely you will get approved under "Tourism", when you just got denied for family visit and your brother is living in Canada. They can put A and B together and understand you are just trying an alternative option to get the visa. If you didn't have a brother in Canada, would you travel there as tourist while you are still to finish your internship and do not have a stable job or financial situation at home?

Thanks very much for the advise. Agree will apply under "visiting family and friends". My cousin sister is in US (studying there) hence plan is, first go to US meet her and then go to Canada to meet my brother. If I do not get my Canada visa, anyway will travel to US with my parents and return to India, and my parents will travel to Canada.

IMO, you must switch the plan. First visit Canada and then visit the US before returning to India.

For this, you must include a broad outline of your US visit plans (including invitations from your cousin/any other reason to visit the US) + a detailed day-by-day visit plan for Canada with expense estimates + flight itineraries/provisional tickets not paid for i.e. India >> Canada >> US >> India.

Your parents must provide evidence of financial resources to pay for the US and Canada visits for 3 persons, including the airfare
