Hi,
I applied for my Moms B2 visa in June 2012 and got rejected as she was unable to present financial document.She had the file with her but she dint know when to present it to the visa officer.

We then applied for the visa on 9th november and by gods grace it got approved.The visa location was Mumbai,india.There are various changes for Us consulate.U need to visit the consulate twice for OFC and actual visa interview.

The OFC visa interview was on 6th november.While at the OFC visa we noticed that the DS-160 form has her middle name missong on the form.I then quickly called the support team at US consulate mumbai and they approached me to fill new DS-160.The OFC went smoothly.

The visa interview was on friday november 9th.She has 2 Ds-160 confirmation with her.one by which appointment was scheduleda and the new one which had the name correction.

Interview as follows:
Mom:Good morning!!
VO:good morning,smileon face.
(mom feels better)
VO:Why are you going to US
Mom:to visit tourist places in florida,california.see my daughter and celebrate christmas.
VO:where do u work
Mom:i am a teacher
VO:how long u will be there
Mom:for 1 month stay
VO:who will sponser your expense.
MOM:flight tickets I can manage and US expense will be taken care by my duaghter and son in law.
VO:when did your daughter go to US
MOM:answered
VO:ur visa is approved.

Passport has not been recived due to diwali holday closure.

USEFUL TIP:VISA OFFICER IS CONCERNED WITH 2 MANIN THINGS
1.yOU NEED TO HAVE STRONG REASON TO COME BACK TO INDIA.eXAMPLE:JOB SECUITY,FAMILY,ASSET=PROPERTY

2.YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVE THEM YOU CAN HANDLE SOME FINANCES ON YOUR OWN.IN MY CASE WE MENTIONED PARTIAL EXPENSES.

Hi all,
First of all I would like to thank IMMIHELP for providing such valuable information and which helped my parents for interview and I hope my parents experience will help others too.
My parents attended B2 visa interview in Gujarati Language at Mumbai Consulate according new visa interview process and they got visa for 10 years.
I am on H4 visa and my husband is sponsoring B2 visa for my parents. My parents had attended interview on 19th of October, 2012 and finger print was at 3 pm on 18th October at Mumbai OFC.
Finger print was completed successfully without any complication.
My parents had visa interview at 10 am, they reached consulate at around 8.15 am. They entered in consulate at 8.30 am and interview was completed at 9.30 am. So my advice is you can reach at consulate before an hour then your interview can finish before time.
Questions Asked:
To my Dad:
(1)VO: Good Morning
Dad: Good Morning Sir.
(2)VO: Why do you want to visit USA?
Dad: Excuse me sir I have preferred Gujarati Language for interview.
(So VO has called the Gujarati Translator)
(3) What are you doing?
(4) In which Department?
(5) What is your position?
(6) What is your duty?
(7) What’s your daughter doing in the USA?
(8) What is your son - in - law doing?
(9) What was his previous job?
(10) Where is your daughter living?
(11) Show me your daughter’s passport copy.

To my Mom:
(1) How many children do you have?
(2) What are you doing?
(3) Where are you living?
(4) What is your son doing?
(5) What is his qualification?

At last VO told to my Mom and Dad for finger printing right hand for my Dad and left hand for my Mom and then it was confirmed that they got the Visa.

Then the magical words came, your visa is approved and you will get the passports in a week. (The interview happened on Friday and they got their passport on Wednesday with 10 years visa stamping)

My Dad is Govt. Employee and my Mom is house wife. I have younger brother who is working in India.
It was a very simple interview. He did not check any other documents except daughter’s passport copy. They were prepared with all the required documents. Both Mom and Dad were very confident while answering.

Good luck to all. I am wishing you all for your success in visa interview.
Thank You.

It’s unbelievable how fortunate I feel after finding your email: humenhealingtemple@yahoo.com For the past 7 months, I have been so depressed after losing my fiance to another woman. My money situation worsened so much that I thought I’d have to file for bankruptcy. I had a huge amount of debt and I didn’t know what to do. Out of complete and total desperation, I contacted many of those so-called individuals who promised powerful magic, witchcraft or black magic. None of them worked and none were as wonderful, affectionate and warm as Humen has been. He is definitely different from the others and I felt immediate hope and strength from hearing about the promises he had to offer. He carries an air of purity and divine strength that is as pure as fresh snow on the ground. I requested Humen's most powerful spells and I was relieved right away that I had someone to solve my problems for me. His spells worked wonders and I am now back with my fiance and my money troubles resolved itself after winning the lottery. Humen, I have no idea what I would have done without you being there to help me out.

Visiting USA for tourism and to meet my sister and brother in law. Started planning early by reading every line relevant to www.immihelp.com 3 months before the interview. Filled Up Form D160 very carefully and 100% accurately and took a print out of the form before submitting. Downloaded the list of mandatory documents and other supporting documents from www.immihelp.com.

Mandatory documents 2. Sponsorship Documents 3. Properties( deeds & pictures), Investments and Bank Statements, Professional Documents like practicing license etc. Income Tax Returns 3 yrs, Pan card etc. 4. Family Documents like Family tree, Photographs with family members. If they have visited USA then their visa etc. 5. Business Documents like MoA, AoA, IT returns, Auditor's Report, . Covering letter to the Consulate, Personal Affidavit and CA's certificate of net worth. You never know what the VO may ask you to show so it is better to be prepared thoroughly. All the questions asked by the VO is to confirm basically 2 things. i. your non-immigant intent and 2. whether you or the person sponsoring you will be able to take care of your expenses in USA.

Hi
I am planning to apply for a tourist visa to USA for my son's graduation in December 2012. I have a question regarding the relationship certificate. When my son applied for the visa 2 years back he did not include his elder brother ( who is married and living independently). But now can we include him as well in the relation certificate so that it will show close ties of us in our home country ?

Will this be like fraudulent because my son mentioned only three of us (with out my elder son) before ? Please reply...
