Honesty and Confidence is the KEY- Approved Kolkata
VO: Hi Good Morning
ME: Good Morning to you too! (handing passport)
VO: Why are you going to the United States?
ME: Transit and Tourism
VO: How long will you be in the US? Transiting to?
ME: I will in be in the US for 3 days, I will arrive at Miami, spend two days there, shop and look around a little and then fly to Ecuador to go on an expedition to the Galapagos Islands with National Geographic after which I will return to Miami for a day and fly back to India.
VO: Oh Cool !! Why are you going through the US though? Why not Brazil or Panama?
ME: National Geographic is offering complimentary airfare for me from Miami that is why.
VO: Why is National Geographic funding you?
ME: Cause I'm a freelancing photographer as well, and I do some work for them once in a while.
VO: Great!! (flicks the pages of my passport to see various other visas and immigration stamps and types in the computer for a while like 2 minutes) Where all have you traveled to with National Geographic?
ME: Answers accordingly and the visa officer listens keenly
VO: Why are you applying for a B2 visa when a C1 visa is sufficient ?
ME: Because I plan to travel to the states off and on in the near future and applying for a visa and paying 160$ again is a hassle.
VO: What does your mother do?
ME: Owns a hotel which is the family business and I help her once in a while.
VO: How many rooms in the hotel?(trick question)
ME: I answered accordingly and immediately
VO: Congratulations and have a great expedition and click amazing photos. You are a lucky guy, getting paid to travel.
I think honestly and confidence is the key. He asked me sudden questions about my mother and our business to see my reaction. Had I been lying I would not have been able to answer them without giving a thought but since I have helped my mom and I know, I do not need to think about the answers at all. They just come out instantly.
However it is also very important to have traveled before or a job or something because a couple who were applying for a B2 Visa were rejected in 2 mins. They were in front of me in the line. The VO asked the husband about his job, he said he had a business and generated a good income, asked the wife she said she helps him in the business and is a housewife too. They were just married and had no children or parents and the VO lifted there passport and just flicked through the pages and said " Not one stamp or Visa, you guys haven't traveled at all since passports were issued. Sorry but I cannot grant you a VISA.
