VO: Your Visa is approved
They did not ask for a single document except passport.
Tips:
1. Take time and fill DS160 correctly, State the truth. Stick to what is mentioned in DS160
2. Primary purpose should be tourism only, visiting family is secondary only. They should know 4-5 tourist spot names
3. Prepare a strong personal reason for your return
4. Retired people seem to have an advantage. Singles or young individuals are at high risk of rejection
5. Visa officer is trained to suspect everyone who is applying for B2 has an intent to stay back in the US and not return to the home country. So the entire responsibility lies on the candidate to convince in the few minutes they get with the VO. This is purely subjective
6. Dont overcoach parents, but train them. Clearly explain them the process, do a couple of mocks. Ask them to be as natural as possible
7. Documents hold meager value, but they have to be kept handy if asked for
8. You cannot sponsor B2 visa, you can only pay for the trip
9. Your status matters at times. If you are 6 years maxed out and on approved I-140, and your parents are applying, their approval is at risk. However if you havent maxed out, your status wont impact their visa
