Visitor Visa - B2

My God daughter (16 years) was staying with us here in the states for a few months to travel with us (host parents) and experience the US culture... She went back to Brazil to see her family and upon her return to the US she was denied re entry.. Stamped on her US B2 visa was canceled "7a" What does this mean.... Can she apply for a new visa or was she Black listed?

Puzzled Felix

My Parents got 10 years visa at Chennai Consulate last week. Simple questions like reason for visit and the University and Degree that your Son earned was asked. Everything went smooth and visa was granted. Thanks to immihelp for a great checklist of documentation and commonly asked questions. Thanks to all those who shared their experiences in this forum. It helped us prepare and know what to expect.

I am sponsoring Visa for my Parents & younger Sister, she is Single. I have a doubt regarding filling the I-134 Affidavit of Support Form. Do I need to fill seperate Forms for my parents & Sister or ONE form is good enough to provide all the Information.

If suppose filling seperate forms for my parents and Sister, Do I need to include Parents Details on my Sister's I-134 Form as she is accompanying them to visit USA on Tourist Visa.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Firstly I would like to thank this website for doing such a wonderful job! Hats off to you guys.
I had my Visa interview yesterday in Chennai and it went on very smoothly.
Though my interview was at 12:45, I reached the consulate at 11:45 and was let inside immediately.
I was asked to wait in the queue for more than 35-40 mins and my documents verification lasted for not more than 2 mins.After that I was asked to go for my interview and the interviewer was an American.
I handed over the passport copy and my DS 156 and 157 forms
Has asked me very basic questions like the below-
1) whom are you visiting?
2) Does your husband have a visa (My husband has a 10 years multiple entry visa)
3) What is your income as I am working?
4) What is your husband's income?
5) Where does your husband work?
and he said your passport will be delivered to you in 1 weeks time.
He did not ask any other document other than my passport and the DS forms.

I am planning to invite my brother and his family on visitor visa. I am a permenant resident. What are the chances that they might get the visa.
Thanks.

My husband age 43 and two daughters 15 and 12 got visa to visit my brother. I already have 10 years B1/B2 visa. They had an appointment at 8:15 am. They got in exactly at that time and came out around 8:30 am. The VO does not see any document though we had prepared for everyting. Just asked following questions

1. Why you want to go to USA?
2. Who is there?
3. What he does there?
4. Since how many years he is there?
5. What do you do here?
6. Does your wife already has visa?

Thats it..she said your visa will be couriered with in 3-4 days. Have a nice stay.

The VO was quite friendly.

My mother-in-law was here in 2000 on a b1-visa.
During her stay, we have applied for her extension. Although her extension got approved for another 6 months, she returned before 6 months (extension period).
As she wasn't granted 10 year validity first time, she had to appear for visa again in 2003. She was rejected. Then she applied in 2004 and 2005 with no luck.
I read through the experiences posted on this site and thought maybe we could give one more try with careful preperation.
Yesterday she got her Visa!!!!!!!!!

She opted for telugu this time, which helped a lot as she was confident in answering. Also it did help as it seems the translator was really nice and was helping her cause.

She was only asked to show her approval for extension and was asked why she had to stay back?
She answered that she had viral fever.

Then she was asked if she was hospitalized?
Answer : No

So why did you have to stay for 6 more months?
She was not comfortable in travelling immediately.

She was told that she would be granted visa this time but she should make sure that she returns in time so that she wouldn't be having problems later on.

Happy Days!!!!

visa for my wife(house lady) to visit my sister(i,e.my wife's sister in law) to help in her pregnancy

My parents got their B2 visa for 10 years. The info in this web-site was very helpful but I believe some of the documents are an overkill. When I am the sponsor, I thought there was no need for my parents to get a Chartered Accountant stmt, notarized affidavit and another cover letter and so on.. Even the letters that I gave them were of no use.

Anyway my parents' experience was really neat. No hardship. Thye took the VFS lounge thing - they verified the appln beforehand and found that my mom's foto was not conforming to the requirements and since they had the facility inside, my mom got a new set of fotos and amended her appln.

The interview was simple:
1. How many kids do you have.
2. Where did they study
3. Where do they live.
4. Who is in the US?
5. Do you own any property here?
Then they asked for my passport copy and thats it.

mother was interviewed on 21 feb. vo ask very simple question
who is sponsoring?
is she travelling alone?
how many children does she have?
will she came back or not?
she answered confidently. not much papers were required only sponsor paper of my husband was required. then vo said that ur visa has been approved and next she can collect from chowringee st.
father and sis were interviewed on 25 feb. their interview also went smooth. my father is a doctor and govt employee so he has NOC so not much question asked.and from my sis vo asked that make sure u wont miss ur classes. so evrything ended well and their visa was approved and it will be delivered thru courier
i personally thank immihelp that supported me to collect each and every document with their detailed information.it also help us to know the type of question does vo ask so that it would be easy for my parents. thanx a lot
