Coming to US for a daugher wedding after multiple visa denials

Here is the story of one of the happy clients of our artificial intelligence. We have changed the names to protect our clients’ privacy.

Katya is a student from Ukraine living on the East Coast of the United States. She came through the U4U program. While in the US, she met a young man who proposed to her. The groom has many relatives and friends in the US, but Katya has no one. She really wanted her family to be present at the wedding, but they were denied tourist visas. Katya reached out to us for help.

Her family members were denied tourist visas to the US, and she asked us to help them fix the situation so they could travel to the US with tourist visas. Using our Telegram bot, Immius, Katya’s relatives quickly and easily completed the DS-160 forms for tourist visas.

As part of our services, we also help select the most optimal consulate. In the case of Katya’s relatives, after evaluating all the facts, we decided to send them to the same consulate where they had previously been denied. Naturally, we thoroughly prepared them to avoid rejection, helping them learn how to properly explain to the consul that they are not immigrants and have no intention of moving to the US.

The following is a story told from Katya’s mother’s perspective:

“While we waited at the consulate, many people were leaving with refusals. My mother and I were first sent to a male consul, but then we were transferred to a female consul.

I, not waiting for questions, began to speak, introducing myself and my mother. I told the consul about the purpose of the trip, about my daughter’s wedding, and about her fiancé in America. I took out two photos: one of the fiancé in Ukraine (he came to Ukraine, unafraid of the war, to ask for my daughter’s hand), and one of the fiancé and my daughter together, with her happily wearing an engagement ring. The consul started SMILING and carefully looking at the photos.

I continued to talk, as we had practiced, about myself, my business, and my husband, who stayed home. I showed pictures of the business. My mother also talked about herself. Despite her advanced age, she runs her own business, manages employees, tends to a farm, a garden, and chickens. She also showed pictures of all this. When she showed a photo with tomatoes, the consul even laughed with joy.

The consul asked if I had any other children. I told her I had another child in Ukraine and an elderly, sick mother-in-law.

We had discussed during preparation that the consulate staff might ask about my daughter’s status in the US, and indeed, the consul asked me. I replied that she is not an immigrant; she is a student.

They also asked me to tell more about my husband, who stayed in Ukraine, and I explained that he couldn’t manage without me, though he agreed to stay home for two weeks. Many people in Ukraine depend on me. The consul also asked if my mother and I owned property, and we both described our homes, shops, and production facilities. My mother even specified the size of her garden!

After this, the consul said, “Your visas are approved. Congratulations!” My mother burst into tears of happiness, and everyone around started congratulating her—the consul, and even two passing embassy staff members, who also said, “Welcome to America!”
