Visitor Visa - B2

Thanks to this site, my parents prepared well for the interview. The interview was in Chennai on Jul 25 in English. All the questions were asked to my father and none to my mother.

Questions asked:
What is the purpose of your visit?
What is the annual income? (My father was shown as the sponsor)
What is your son-in-law doing in the US?
Is this the first time he has gone to the US?
When did he go to the US?
When did your daughter get married?
How many children do you have?
How old is your other daughter? Is she staying with you in Chennai?
Who is sponsoring your visit?
When will you daughter/son-in-law come back?

For the last question, my parents had a problem understanding the accent. Immediately the officer summoned an interpreter and the question was interpreted in Tamil. Although I made them carry all the documents listed on this site, no documents were verified. They got a 10 yr ME visa.

My suggestion is to carry sufficient proof of holdings in India. Mainly in terms of assets and financial holdings(regardless of self-sponsored or sponsored by someone else) and also make sure the officer knows that.

Reg. the affidavit, it is available in this site under visitor visa documents.

Hope this has helped. Good luck!
