Visitor Visa - B2

My parents' visitor visas got approved @ Mumbai. We did not hire any agent. Trip was mentioned as self sponsored.

Many of you would know that two appointments are to be scheduled.

1. OFC APPOINTMENT - (Fingerprint & photo)

At this time, officer found that in DS-160 form, we missed to add full given name as mentioned in passport. (Most of Indian passports include father/husband name as well in given name). So, we had to immediately create new DS-160 form in nearby internet cafe and went for fingerprint again on same day. Try to schedule this appointment before or around noon so that you get plenty of time in case you need to correct anything in DS-160 form.

2. CONSULAR APPOINTMENT - (Interview)

This went smoothly. VO asked around 3-4 questions
- To whom you are going to meet in USA?
- What is your son in USA doing?
- How long is he there in USA?
- Do you have any other kids in India?

And visa got approved.

Prepare for common questions. We had prepared for below questions.

Purpose of Visit.
Who is there in USA?
Duration of stay?
Where is your son living?
Where is your son working?
