Tourist Visa application with a grandparent. Please advise answers.
I am an Indian national applying for the visitors visa (B2) to visit my brother who holds an H1-B status. I am 24 years old and hold a job for the past 7 months now. I am going to be travelling with my grandfather who is 86 years old. Our expenses are going to be taken up by my brother.
Please help me with these questions regarding the process:
1. While filling my grandfather's DS-160, can I enter my phone number for the "primary phone number" field?
2. As my grandfather is 86 YO he may not appear for the visa interview based on the visa application regulations. But as we are travelling together then does he need to appear for the interview with me?
3. I have completed my DS-160 but haven't submitted my application. Is it that until i submit my application, I will not able to see my grandpa as my travel companion. His travel details are not getting auto filled.
4. For mentioning in the DS-160, what should be my/my brother's relation to the grandfather? As there is no specific relation such as grandparent/grandchild. The closest option available is "other relative". Is this the correct answer to the question?
5. For mentioning in the DS-160, in the "US Point of contact Information" page, what should be my answer to the question: "Organization Name:". I am going to submit my brother's details as the US point of contact, so does that mean that I have to provide the name for the organization for which he works? OR is the question intended for people travelling for business to an organization?
