Visitor Visa - B2

Hi
First of all , thanks a lot to the Immihelp community. I prepared all documents for my parents per this website and it was very useful in building up confidence that we had all avenues covered.

We were slightly worried since both my sister and myself live in the US.

My parents went to the consulate at 2.30 for their 3.30 appointment and were let in immediately.

We had booked an English appointment but were given the option to interview in Tamil since the line opened up.However my parents decided to stay in the same line.

VO: Good afternoon
Parents: Good afternoon
VO: So, you are a doctor? ( I guess he got this information from the I-156 document)
Dad: Yes. I am a consulting physician and I have practised for X years.
VO: What does your son do in the US?
Dad: My son works as a X in company Y. My daughter works at X. We are having her wedding in September in Chennai ( I am not sure why he gave all this information at once.Maybe there was one followup question about my sister)
VO: Do I get an invitation for the wedding? (joking)
Dad: (mistaking that he wants to see the invitation starts to take it out of his bag)

VO : (smiles) You are approved.Please enjoy your trip.

They mentioned that their case was the quickest and it hardly took 2 minutes. They also mentioned that most of the applicants were parents and there were 4 rejects - mostly women who came there by themselves.

All in all a good experience. So my 2 cents for anyone who is applying for their visa is be confident and tell the truth at all times. Both my sister and me are here and a lot of people advised us not to mention this fact or say that my sister lives in India. I think this kind of advice is dangerous and unnecessary.

All the best!
