MIL and FIL got their visa from Chennai consulate for one year. FIL is 60 years old and MIL is 46. I had provided all the documents that were mentioned on this web site. On that particular day, as per my MIL, a lot of other people were being rejected, especially retired folks who were trying to get visa. She saw couple of youths getting rejected too. The questions that were asked

1) How long your Son-in-law has been in US
2) How long your daughter has been in US
3) What does he do in US
4) How long do you want to go for

They got their passports in 2 days with 1-year visa stamped. I strongly encourage folks to post their experiences on this web site as it helps others in preparing for the interview.

My mother was issued 10 year multiple entry visa at the Chennai consulate last week. Questions they asked:
How many children do you have, where are you going to stay, show us daughter's passport copy, how do you sustain yourself in India, who will look after your dependents when you are away, what places are you going to in the US. We had sent a huge list of supporting documents mostly whatever this site recommended. For every question they asked her she had a supporting document including photographs. The visa officer was courteous and didn't give her much trouble.
Thanks to this site and those that maintain it for your guidance.

My parents went to the Delhi consulate for visa interview this week.

They were only asked 2 questions:

1. What do you do? (to my dad)
2. What does your son do in the US?

No supporting documents were asked for! My dad offered to show the papers I had sent but the officer simply said 'not needed' and granted them 10yrs multiple entry visa!

It was a little bit of an anti climax for us because we had spent lots of time making sure we had every scrap of paper they could possibly need plus coaching them about every little thing here (like our status, company name, exact work done, where we stay etc etc) and their actual interview was over in less than 2 minutes!

good luck to everybody else who is applying.

It is my advise to people like Mooskan, madhur reddy and Rashmi to put their questions in the discussion forum please...

Here people mainly post their experiences so there are chances your questions might not get answered promptly...
If you post on the discussion forum, lot of people will read and help and person called 'immihelp' answers questions daily and is having good knowledge of visa related questions...

Just my advise...

Thanks to immihelp.com for tremadeous guidance provided on the site, it is the grate help I got to get the visa. I had appeared on 6.5.04 for interview and the consular was a lady, very co-operative. I had offered the consular to look at the documents which I was carrying, she did not look at any documents and ask me the following questions, which I replied confidently.

Who is in USA
What is he doing
What u r doing
What is ur annual income
For what period u need the visa
How many children and what r they doing

My experience with consular was nice, if u r perfect and confident in ur reply, chances of getting visa will be more. Best of luck to all who r appearing for interview.

My dad is over 65 yrs,a old retired Govt official. My mom 60 yrs old, a house wife.

Hi friends,
                   Few days’ back my parents visa got rejected, they were supposed to go for graduation ceremony of my younger sister, who is in Illinois and she is a permanent resident of united states. My brother in law is a senior manager in Nextel communications and he earns $96,000.00 annually. She went to USA on h4 visa after marriage and her husband was on h1 visa. Now both have permanent resident of America. Interviewer asked few questions;
1- Who is there in America?
2- What are you by profession?
3- What you earn monthly?
4- What are your daughter and son in law status in America?
5- Her first entry to America?
6- Your case is open
7- Gets me your daughter and son in law visa and passport copy and new status in America.
Then they give document showing to submit required papers.
 Two days after on Monday we went to Delhi embassy to show them required papers and on looking on papers, she said they could not call you. We couldn’t understand what interviewer meant. As my sister is going to complete her masters in computers in may and then she will apply for job. She is dependent on her husband. Lastly, visa rejected. Suggest us should we reapply on same base or any required document we need to show them. Please help us.
