Question about US visit visa and sponsorship

Re: Question about US visit visa and sponsorship

My dad withdrew his passport from the U.S embassy in Islamabad after waiting for more than two and a half years to get it back. They were doing a background inquiry on him for last 2 and a half years.

Here is a little background:

  • He has been in the U.S 6 times in last 10 years
  • He has had three multiple entry visas before. Once a 5-year visa and twice, a 2-year visa.
  • He is more than 70 years old
  • He has never overstayed his visa

Getting a visit visa to the U.S is nearly impossible these days for guys. The funny part is, my mom and my dad applied at the same time. My mom got the visa for 2-years but it expired while waiting for my dad's passport to come back.
