for my oldest sister's daughter's 2000. Here are the basic:
Me: currently green card holder and have my own family in US, back to China
3 times 2000, 2002, 2010 after I came to US in 1999. I am inviting my niece
to visit my family, and the plan is we tour US northeast region together in
the summer (my family usually travel 1-2 week and tour a region in the
summer when kids are off school). We have invited my parent, parents-in-low
, my sister-in-law's family more than twice in the past and they all got
visa, although my parent failed in 1000 and had to reapply in 2005.
My sister: lives in a city in Henan, works as a local branch manager (~30-50
people in the branch) in one of the national commercial bank (Industrial
and Business). My brother-in-low works in the city's attoney general's
office (JianChaYuan).
My niece, who applied B1/B2 visa in March 2012, but got rejected for 214(b).
She is currently a 2nd year college student in another city of Henan.
My niece (or say my sister's plan) would like to reapply in May 2012 to try
again. I would be grateful if any suggestion can help her to get visa in
her 2000.
I see the difficult is that my niece, as a college student, doesn't have
enough assets to overcome the 214(b). Although my sister does have (work,
own apartment, and bank saving accounts), but my niece is the applicant.
For 1000, I told my sister that it would be a strong case if she apply and
be the principle applicant and add my niece to her application. Now that it
becomes 2000, would that still be helpful? I can write an invitation
letter to invite my sister, but not sure if that is the best shot, worrying
if it got rejected again, it would be negative for my sister if and when she
want to visit me. My sister doesn't plan to travel this summer due to her
busy work schedule.
Thanks in advance for your suggestion
