Visitor Visa - B2

I had my earlier B1 visa expired on May 2017 and had put it for renewal on April 2018. Since it was not more than 12 months from expiry i qualified for the Interview Waiver program and went for only biometrics in the last week of april.

Received the passport in 3 days and was disappointed to see a blue form and passport not stamped with visa. The blue slip had a tick mark asking me to attend in-person interview.

Just as FYI to others if your time period for visa expiry is less then 6 months then you in all probability will get the visa renewed with just biometerics otherwise more or less you have to attend the interview.

With the blue slip you can walk in on any (Mon,Tue,Thu & friday) b/w 10-11 AM. Below is how the Interview went.

VO : Good Morning
Me : Good Morning Sir

VO : What is the purpose of the visit
Me : To visit our customer for business meeting etc etc etc

VO : Where do you work
Me: My company Name

VO: Who is paying for the trip
Me:My Company

VO:Are you Married
Me : Yes Sir

VO: Do you have any kids
Me:Yes sir ,gave details about my kids

VO: Congrats Visa is approved.
Me: Thank you sir.

Few things to note , in my previous travel B1 and L1 travel i have never overstayed the date given at the Port of Entry.

Documents Carried (Invite Letter,6 Months Payslip, 3 Years ITR, Current Company Offer/ Hike Letter,Previous Company Offer/Relieving Letter,Resume,My marriage Certificate,My property papers)

None of the above were asked but if you read through posts in the forum they have asked some of them.

All the best to others. Thanks for this forum in helping for my preparation.
