3 questions and visa denied: Indian student in US says parents were not allowed to attend her graduation

An Indian student in the US took to Reddit and expressed her woes as her parents were denied a tourist visa from the Mumbai consulate. Of late, several incidents of Indians, including entrepreneurs, being denied tourist visas to the US have been reported. Visa officers have the right to reject visa applications of any individuals if they find during the interview of the applicant that they might not return to their own country and continue staying in the US. There are other reasons too for visa denials, including past law enforcement cases.

The Indian student said her parents were only asked three questions and based on the answers they decided that her parents should not be granted tourist visas to the US.
