hi, we wanted to send our son to US for further studies i.e. MS He got good scores in GRE, TOEFL and got I 20 in a very good university as well. But the thing is he was rejected his visa twice stating both the times that he is a potential immigrant. Wht to do, we are vexed with this, shall we try again?

your son need to give a very good reason to come back after completing MS. There are 2 ways to do it, either show huge cash and a lot of property for your son or get a appointment letter or somthing saying that he will get a job as soon as he will come back to India. Bottom line is that, you have to show them that you have reasons to come back.

Hello Mrs Lakshmi, I am in NY since 2 years and completed my 3 years masters in 1.5 years. This is what my suggestion is: I think he should apply again and make sure during the interview he answers all of the questions which makes them feel that he loooooooooooves India and would want to return back asap on order to serve for the country. Hope this was of any help.
Please do not hesitate to write back to me if needed. TC All the best. Preeti Kanani

Hello madam, Well you can definitely try again... 2 of my friends got it the third time.. Jst remember to ask him to be truthful in the answers... When they ask him "Why do you want to go to this univ?".. he should not say. " because I want to come back to India".. a more appropriate answer would be ... " because I am very passionate about my education and want to learn a lot".... He has to be calm and collected during the interview process. don't mention anywhere that you have a relative in the US at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be glad to help out.. I've been here 13 years. -sam
