Hello everyone,
I find myself in a challenging situation. Recently, my father's application for a Super Visa, based on Strong Family ties inside and the lack off outside of CA (although Super Visa requires strong family ties...). We decided to reapply with additional evidence. However, during the process, my father inadvertently failed to disclose his previous US visa, as he mistakenly believed he already included it in the new application given that he was just rejected for his Super Visa which already disclosed this information.
Consequently, we received a PFL (Procedural Fairness Letter), in which we explained that this omission was an honest mistake and that it had been disclosed previously. Despite our explanation, the Visa Officer refused his application and imposed a 5-year ban, citing dissatisfaction with our reasoning for not including the information, without providing further explanation.
Has anyone encountered a similar situation, and if so, what steps did you take? This outcome feels unduly harsh considering it was a genuine oversight.
Thank you.
