B1/B2 interview
Good morning, i have to share the interview experience with US Embassy.
Me: Good Morning (with smile)
VO: GM (smiled)
VO: Why are you going to US?
Me: I was invited by a President of company to attend meetings regrading his plan in putting up a business here in my country.
VO: who are you going to meet?
Me: i mentioned his name
VO: what city in US?
Me: i told the city
VO: what do you do?
Me: i own a business
VO: what kind of business?
Me: doing a laundry business
VO: have you been in other country?
Me: yes
VO: where?
Me: HK, SG, MY
Vo: you have laundry business and yet you are having a meeting in a different kind of business. I cant understand.
Me: its another form of business, i believe not to put all eggs in just one basket. So i have to diversify my business.
VO: are you married?
Me: No but in common law marriage
VO: do you child?
Me: yes
VO: how many?
Me: 1
VO: sorry but i cannot give you a visa this time
Me: its okay (with smile)

In my realization, i really don't know the basis of the visa officers in granting and refusing visas. I am not mad at the VO who made a decision, but i am mad at the people who got a privelege in getting a visa and yet used it in a different way. For us, who have no plans in hiding in US especially business people who are making all efforts inorder to succeed in a country where they belong. Maybe i better luck next time.

I want also to share some of people i witnessed in getting a visa
A single, young lady, a student, who will going to attend a religious conference granted a visa.

A single young lady who is employed who wants to go to US only for a visit purposes, also granted a visa.

A 50 years old woman who will attend a conference for realty business also granted a visa.

This made me think what was the real basis for the strong ties in the country where you belong?

Anyone?
