Hello People,

I have a typical case here and need your expert suggestions/advice on how should I proceed further with this.

I stay with my wife and family in Delhi. My wife was aksed by her company to travel for business to US. The company being headquartered in Bangalore, they asked her to apply at Chennai consulate. She applied at Chennai consulate and got her B1/B2 visa stamped 4 days back (04th Sep). I was not present in the whole scene as I was travelling for business outside India all this time.

Since her travel for 2 weeks falls very near to our 1st wedding anniversary, I decided that I will also join her and make it a pre-anniversary kind of trip. For that, I will apply at Delhi Consulate for B1/B2 visa in the coming 10-15 days.

My first question is, what should I put in DS-160 about my travel companion and their details etc?
1. Should I put my wife's name there? If I do so, many ques arise. "Why dint you apply together?", "Why only a gap of 1-2 weeks between your visa appointment and her visa stamping?", "Why different consulates?". All this will arise more doubts in their minds about something being fishy.
2. Should I put my friend's name who already has a visa. And if asked, I can tell that I will be travelling with him keeping wife and her travel out of the picture.
3. Should I show that I am travelling solo?

Which would be the most convincing and least doubtful case among the ones mentioned above and why?

My second ques is, how are they treating people who have travelled to Iran/Saudi Arabia for company sponsored business trip? How are the rules towards such cases? I have travelled to Iran and Saudi Arabia (purely for work purpose) before so what are my chances of getting a visa or getting rejected?

My bakground:
I have 7 years of experience in IT. Almost 5 years in current company. Good Salary. Good Savings.
Strong ties to country : my parents stay with me in my own home, me being the only son. Leave certificate for 2 weeks leave already approved from my company. Recently bought a property with my wife for which we will be doing registration soon.

Kindy provide your expert feedback on the 2 questions mentioned above. Looking forward for your responses.
