Urgent!!!!!!! Parents visa interview tommorow!!!!!

[davvy75]

Dear Friends,
My father works as senior consultant with govt of India ( national organizations/groups etc)where he gets short term assignments/projects etc every now and then..in short he is busy atleast 50% of the year and travels all around the country..
Assignments could be week long, fortnight long or even for couple of days..
In the application form, he has written his occupation as senior consultant/arbitrator since we thought that he works/earns quite a bit in these assignments and writing retired doesnt make sense ( he retired as a govt officer in 2002)..
Now, one of the expected questions could be " do u have a no objection letter from your current employer"
Since he is not a regular full time employee with these govt organizations, he didnt ask for such a letter as there is no long term schedule given to him by these agencies ..
Though he does have a letter saying that he works for them...
What should he say if visa officer asks for a no objection certificate???
Please folks give ur suggestions as soon as possible..
Thanks

He can say he is a consultant and he can choose when to work and when not to based on his schedule and family obligations.

I support txh1b's suggestion.

Your father can keep it simple by being truthful. He is not obliged to work, he is just consulting on his own interests.

Goodluck!

I also agree with the suggestion.

It is always best to tell the truth. But also keep it simple, no need to explain with 20 words, when 5 will do.

Dear Friends,
Thanks a lot for your replies. What happened was that my father actually arranged the letter saying that his employer doesnt have any objection.
In any case, vo didnt ask for that letter during the interview.
I would take this opportunity to thank this site and it's many helpful members for their support and help.
This website & the forum helped us a lot. My parents got the US visa for 10 years ..after being rejected thrice in March 2002, Jan 2005, Feb 2005..

Congratulations. Make sure they value and protect that visa... no unnecessary extensions or long stays.
