The consular officer takes a look at the father or grandfather or grandmother of an American citizen who wants his dad or grandfather or grandmother to come to the United States to spend his or her remaining years in the quiet and peace of the family life of a good American citizen. What happens? If the consular officer decides that the father or grandfather or grandmother does not look right to him. if. in the language of the bill. he knows or has reason to believe. or if it appears to him that such alien is ineligible to receive a visa. grandpa or grandma does not make the trip. No one can possibly obtain a review. There is no appeal from the consular officers decision. regardless of the ground.
