Yes.  Unfortunately transfer of parole is discretionary; it's not a right.  If the parole office rejects your request there isn't much that you can do.  Many times factors to be considered do take into account where a parolee's family resides but again there is no law governing this.

For whatever reason, this particular parole office does not want you to move.  Possibly, they are understaffed and can't take on any more cases than they have to; hence your transfer to them as been denied not once but twice. 

Your best bet is to get in touch with an attorney who practices in the county that is rejecting you.  It's possible that they will have contacts with the parole office in question office and can get this matter resolved in your favor.

Good luck.
