B1/B2 Visa approved for both myself and spouse for 10 yrs
Hi All,

I had a B2 visa rejection in Jan-2017 applied from Hyderabad. I have applied again on November 6th, 2018 this time in Mumbai on B1/B2 category as I had to attend a conference of a prestigious international organisation in US. Here is how my interview went:

VO: Passports please!
Me: Given

VO: Where are you travelling to in US?
Me: Washington, D.C

VO: In what context are you travelling to US?
Me: Started explaining the purpose and he cut me off after just 1 sentence

VO to my spouse: What do you do?
My spouse: I am a home maker

VO started typing for 30 secs, then he left his seat for 5mins. I felt that he is bringing some letter for rejecting my visa, as he didnt ask me much questions. And then he was back

VO: Where do you stay?
Me: In Nagpur, Maharashtra

VO: Why did you apply from Hyderabad previously?
My spouse: My parents stay in hyderabad and we were there at that time

VO: Types for some time and says your Visa is approved, please leave

I was shell shocked to hear those words ask expected VO to ask my letter of invitation, questions on sponsorship, duration of stay and everything. But there was none, just four questions and bam! Visa approved.

After my rejection in 2017, I travelled to Sweden and Denmark to attend another prestigious conference. I work for a govt PSU and we had a pay revision because of which my salary increased. I also applied for B1/B2 category which gave me a chance to explain my work and I had a conference to attend which I think are reasons for my visa. Interestingly, I applied for B2 visa for my spouse and even she got B1/B2 for 10 years.

Thanks to all those who took time to post in this forum. Really helped me in my preparation!
