Visitor Visa - B2

Hi all,

Just reciprocating all the help I recieved from this forum by mentioning my few cents worth of advice...

Family Visa Application:
Parents aged 52 and 54, myself aged 28 (single) and sibling is 25(single)

Certain points to remember:
1. Fill the DS 160 with utmost care. This is the most important part - spend a few good weeks verifying the application.
2. Before submitting the DS 160 form, remember to take a print of the entire application because you may tend to forget the answers before/during the interview. Once the application is submitted, there is no way to see your DS 160.
3. Mention salary/income details accurately. Ensure you have sufficient funds to travel.
4. The job description should be fail safe - be crisp and emphasise on mentioning things that would put you at a higher stature. For example, instead of mentioning 'Project Manager in IT', you can mention 'Asst Vice President in ___ company', since IT is a red flag these days. It is not about representing false information, it is about represening safe information on the form and talking about what exactly you do only if asked in detail during the interview.
5. Be clear with your itinerary. Mention the places you will be travelling on the DS 160 form itself.
6. Make sure what you mention on DS 160 exactly matches what you speak during the interview.
7. PREPARE. There is no substitute for preparation. It may sound silly, but having a list of probable questions and answers does help a lot. It also will help your parents if you prepare them beforehand with mock interviews. It increases your confidence during the interview.
8. Smile, be confident. Relax during the interview.
9. Prayers help :)

Our experience:

Questions asked to each of us:
1. What do you do?
2. Where have you travelled before?

Apart from that, one additional question:
Have you applied through a travel agency?

Visa approved :)

Good luck and God bless!
