Without asking any more question they got rejection with 214(b). They didn’t ask for any document. Without asking how you will you prove your ties. According to 214(b), applicant should have ties to their home country and have reason to come back to own country.As my parents have their own properties in India.

It appears that consular officer has based decision on entries in the DS160. Parents who are 60+ in age are at risk of becoming a liability for US social services. 1. It should be indicated that they are paying for their own trip 2. Travel plans must show as already decided with clear start and return dates (Have you made travel plans? Yes; reduce intended length of stay from 2 months to 42 days.) 3. Your personal details must refer to H-1B and not the approved I-140 (you are a non-immigrant at present). 4. Something in their application is suggestive of helpless, dependent seniors. This is not true - your dad is a confident agriculturist so make it show in documents. Primary Occupation: Farming for cash crops. Present Employer or School Name: Self employed - agriculture. Briefly Describe your Duties: Managing land based assets for productive profitable crop yields. 5. They should be the sole sponsors of the entire trip. 6. The only role you have in all this is providing international health insurance coverage for this trip.

My parents visa got denied on 05-April-2018 at Mumbai consulate, India. I was sponsoring the trip and I have enough balance in my US bank account. The reason we showed for their visit is tourism.
They got rejection with 214(b). They didn’t ask for any document. Without asking how you will you prove your ties. According to 214(b), applicant should have ties to their home country and have reason to come back to own country.
As my parents have their own properties in India. They have 2 kids and grandkids in India.
Now I want to re-apply for their visa but this time the situation is totally changed, my wife was critically ill and passed away in mid of May-2018. So, me and my daughter (9 years old) want my parents to stay with us in USA for few months so that we get emotional support and help us to overcome grief and depression.
Any suggestion on how to reapply for my parents’ visitor visa?
