Reapplying for Parents’ Visa – Seeking Guidance After Rejection

[Devil123]

Hi,

I’m a Canadian permanent resident. Back in January 2025, my parents' tourist visa application was rejected. The reason given was that they didn’t provide sufficient proof of ties to India that would ensure their return. At that time, many of my friends also experienced similar rejections for their parents' visitor visas, so I’m not sure what was going on. Interestingly, my parents already hold valid U.S. visas, so the rejection came as a surprise.

I’m now planning to reapply, and I’m wondering whether I should apply for a regular tourist visa again or consider the Super Visa instead. Has anyone had a similar experience or can offer any guidance on what might be the better route?

Did you order GCMS notes for potentially more details on their refusal? What ties to India did they show? How long a visit had they requested? Had your parents visited the US? Holding the visa is not what is really important it is actually visiting and returning home. If they halve visited when and for how long? Do you meet LICO for 2024 with some savings?
