American Visa from Egypt?

Question

My boyfriend's father lives in the US but his wife lives in Egypt still. He is getting a double knee replacement and his doctor sent a letter to the embassy to gain her visa to care for him after his surgery. They denied her visa. Is there anyway she can still come here?

Answer 1

It depends. What is your boyfriend's father's status in the US? Assuming she was applying for a tourist visa, and was turned down as an intending immigrant, which seems the most likely reason with a husband and son in the US, there is no waiver. She would have to apply again and do a new interview. Chances are more than fair she would be turned down again, though.

Answer 2

Maybe you could look into the reason her visa was denied and if there is the possibility of applying for a waiver.  You could try looking here...this might be of help:  http://www7.nationalacademies.org/VISAS/...  Another thing would be to hire an attorney who is knowledgeable on this kind of issue.  Best of luck.
