Visitor Visa Granted to my Parent at Kolkata Consulate (at 2nd attempt after 214B rejection)
Hi Everyone,

First of all thank you very much to Immehelp which helped me towards systematic direction for Visitor Visa.

Background: I am currently in US with L1-B visa and sponsoring my Parent. My parent's (Father - Currently Not Employed, previously Doing business, Mother- House wife) visitor visa was granted on July 30, 2014 at Kolkata Consulate at 2nd attempt. 1st attempt (Sept, 2013) was rejected under 214 B. I wanted to share the experience.

Interview was scheduled (9:30 am) in Bengali and VO was a Young man
Interview Length - 2-3 min
Language Opted - Bengali (they did not asked for any Interpreter and my parents answered in English)

Visa Officer (VO) Question Parents answer
Good Morning. Passport please. Father- Good Morning. Gave 2 passports to VO

VO:Why do you want to go to USA?
Father:To meet my son and for Tourism Purpose

VO:What is your Son doing?
Father:My son is working in YYYY company as YYY

VO: Who is playing for your Trip?
Father - My Son

VO:How many days you plan to stay over there
Father - 3 months

VO:Do you have any other children, mam?
Mother – Yes. My younger daughter is in India and studying

VO: Did your son studied in US?
Mother – No, sir

VO: Where will you stay during your stay?
Father did not here properly and he said the places wish to visit in US. Mother asked VO, if she answer the questions and replied, they will stay at our sons apartment at YYYY , State

VO: Pls show me your Son’s Passport
Father look out my DL but my mother handed over my Passport copy. (VO did not returned)

Smiled and shake hand with my father (did not say anything) and don’t returned Passport
Parent: Thank You sir

My parent thought that they were approved. Later, I found the cases went to 'Administrative processing" and after 3 working days status updated as ‘Visa Issued’

Last time my parents were in casual dressed and were bit nervous. This time they dressed well, confident and have some practice of regular interview questions. They gave all the answer confidently and honestly.

Hope, this may help someone similar to my case.
Have a wonderful day…
ABC
