B2 tourist visa
Hello,
I am living in USA under H4 visa and i invited my brother in law and sister to visit me.
I sent across an invite letter to both asking them to come down and visit me for 10 days. My sister holds UK citizenship so she need not apply for US visa however my brother in law needs to apply for a visa.
He had his visa interview last week in London for B2 visa to USA.
These were the questions asked:
What visa is your sister in law?
H4
When did your sister in law go to USA?
July (year)
Do you own a property in the UK?
Yes( He had the mortgage papers in hand)
How long have you been working for your company?
6 years
Why are you going to USA?
To spend some family time and also enjoy fall in Ohio.
His visa was granted. Wanted to share this experience with others so that it will help them prepare for the interview.
Good luck guys!

B1 Visa Experience
This is my 2nd attempt of interview with the US consulate for the B1 Visa. I was little nervous as the 1st attempt was unsuccessful.
VO: What is the purpose of the visit?
Me: The main purpose is to have the business meetings and Strategic discussions. I'm having series of meetings with the stake holders and our onsite team management to discuss on the future assignments that I'm going to handle once I'm back to India.
VO: How long is the travel
Me: 1 week
VO: What is your Current Salary?
Me: XX.XX LPA
VO: What is the role of you in the current assignment?
Me: I'm a Lead Consultant having a team in India and I have 5 reportees reporting me, so the present trip is having discussions with the stake holders and once back to India, I need to share the expertise with my team and we need to complete the assignments that came up during my discussions when I was onsite.
Tips; Make sure that you stress on below 3 points
1. " You will be coming back to India and work from India."
2. " Keep the trip confined to 1 or 2 weeks in the DS-160 and say the same. Not more than 2 weeks.(My 1st interview went wrong at this place. I mentioned 4 weeks and they will question week by week if they have doubts on the travel and u even need to prepare for that)"
3. " Keep proper Eye Contact and be confident."

B1 visa approved on 2nd attempt
I applied for B1 visa last year in october 2017 for visiting business conference of professional society but I was nervous. Last time I was observing all the counters and finding best consulate to have interview with. While standing in a line I found a lady talking with good interest to one mechanical engineering student and his VISA got approved. I thought I should get that interviewer if possible. When my turn came there were two windows got empty and one was of the counseler which I talked above. I went there and stood there but the other officer called me back to another counter, the officer I didn't like. She asked me few question first few went well with confidence. then as I was nervous I fumbled on 4th question (How much is your annual salary, I had memorised monthly salary) and I gave her document from my office stating salary even though she didn't ask me. then I was handed 214(b)

2 time b1 got rejected
Interview location : Chennai (Location does not matter for getting visa)
I applied for first time was 28 Aug 2018, It was all normal question what we find any typical b1 interview visa,
My rejection reason is, when VO asked my experience i told my latest company experience which is 10 month (i don't know why i said that but it happens sometime), and next second realized i did mistake and i should have said my overall experience as 5 years by that time he already given 214b.
2nd time:
i was little familiar with process and have some confident i should make through this time and then again got rejected, i appear for interview just after 21 days on sept 20th but date do not matter here. almost all consular were seating in same counter which i found last time and again i was sent same consular who interviewed me last time but when my turn comes he said, i am closing this counter move to next available then i was sent to some other counter.
this interview went very long, he started with normal question go in deeper slowly and when i explained him my role and responsibility as Application Technology owner then he said and i quote "Your job description and work sound like more of manager have to do or some senior technical guy, but you as Developer is doing that". that's it, he took around 1 minute before giving me this answer just scanning through my profile till then. i had proof that i am doing same job what i have informed but he did not ask it.
He was courteous to say the rejection reason, never mind world is big. currently i have no plan of reapplying as i am tired with the process so need some break.
Wish you all the very best! if you get visa be thankful and if you don't just be patient.

B1 Visa interview experience
Hi All,
Today I had my B1 visa interview at Chennai consulate.
I'm 26years old, MBA graduate with overall 4.3years work experience. I have no travel history to US before, applying for the first time.
Here is how the interview went
VO: Give me your passport
ME: Handed over my passport
VO: What is the purpose you are traveling to US
ME: I am traveling to attend the *** conference & expo
VO: What is your role in this conference?
ME: Explained in short and crisp way
VO: Are you traveling alone?
ME: Yes
VO: Have you been out of India before?
ME: Yes I've been to Malaysia once
VO: What is your title in this Organization?
ME: Inside sales executive
VO: How much do you earn annually?
ME: ***LPA
VO: What is your overall work experience?
ME: 4.3years
VO: Handsover the 214(b), told me sorry you are not eligible for immigarant visa this time.
ME: thank you and walked away.
P.S No documents asked during the interview process.
Though I kept my invite letter, and all key documents upfront visible to his eyes he didnt even care to look at it. I have no clue what went wrong. I assume it would be because my income and work experience is not conviencing from the VO point of view.
Does anyone experience the same case? if so, what is the best way to consider before re-applying.
Thanks.
