Hello Everybody, I would like to share my experience with all of you.I was granted visa in 1999 with my family/parents. I have visited USA twice in 2001 and 2002 when I was single. I got married in 2008 and I applied for visitors visa in 2012 with my wife and son hoping that I would be granted easily as per previously granted. unfortunately they rejected my visa upon baseless reasons.
Back in 2015 october. I planned to apply again.
Our community was having a 10 day convention in october 2015 which I was intending to attend. I filled out application forms and pay the fees. Now the online system allows us to select the dates only after payment is made and the date earliest I was getting was falling the 9th day of our convention. So the main reason to goto usa is going to get invalid automatically.
US Embassy all around the world already knew that some kind of conevntion is going around these dates in houston and they saw an unexpected visa application filled from our comunity people and 90% of them got granted visa for attending the convention. But in my case I was too late to apply as interview date was falling right on 9th day of convention and i am expecting the VO knows I have now no reason left to visit.
on the interview day I got there on time, Every thing in place they called me inside for documents check up. 1st mistake my photographs background was not appropriate. I was asked to fix it up and get back in 1 hour or chose another interview date. Big decision what to do. 9 am in morning where to get photograph fix at this time. Not knowingly I agreed to get back with correct photographs in one hour time and continue with interview. Luckily i found out a shop in morning and on urgent basis got photographs and headed back to Embassy. By the time now almost every one was done and I was almost last on in line. Nervous about what will I say why I want to go now as I didnt had any plans to visit any time soon. Just wanted to attend the convention.
While waiting in line I could see other people cases in windows and so many rejections so many stories. To every one their very first question is Why Do You Want To Go To USA. Many solid people with solid background being rejected out of no reason which was making me more and more nervous. So now finally my call came up and i went to window.
VO: Good Morning.
Me Good Morning...
He asked for passport and took pinger prints
1st Question VO: Tell me about your Travel History
Me. Been to Usa UK Canada Iraq Iran Bangladesh Malaysia Singapore Saudia UAE Sirilanka etc etc
VO: Oh you been to Usa ok ok when did to been there?
Me: Sir last time 2002.
VO: Okay so its been13 yrs... ( then started typing something..
VO to my wife: Is your travel same as your husband?
My wife: No sir different.
VO: Why do you want to goto USA ( the big question )
Me: Sir our community is having a convention over there in houston for 10 days and because we got interview date so late now we cannnot attend as tomorrow is the last day. Now we might go for pleasure visit later some time not sure when my son school vacation is on.
VO: Tell me about you business?
Me: we manufacture xyz
VO: how many employees:
Me: sir xxx on our factory and xxx on our front sales shop
VO: What is your montly income?
ME: Sir its business sometime its higher and sometime is lower but on average itsxxx (rememer I had to say the same amout of income I declared on my forms)
VO: Is the your monthly turn over?
ME: No sir our monthly turn over is number in xxx..
VO: Okay Where do you Live?
Me: I live at xxx area
VO: Who is in cupertino?
ME: My dads friends (ok ok and continued typing for few minutes)
And finally the Golden Words. Sir your visa has been approved. Collect your passports from xyz location after 2 working days.
Didnt saw a single piece on any kind of document I bring along with me like bank statement etc.
I learnt in the end is that make your interview better is simple as it is possible. Donot give more information than asked. Give upto point answers and say the truth. Most of the time they already know they just cross question us to check our intentions. I even got to know that after filling out forms our back ground is also being checked including our financial details like if we file tax returns etc etc central govt data give them all required information.
