B2 visa - Family application
My brother applied for a B2 visa with family (Wife and 3 kids). His visa has been denied before and this time he applied with family. Below is their experience at New Delhi embassy on 6/30/16

Vo: Good Morning
Bro: Good Morning

Vo: Can I have your passports?
Bro: Given

Vo: What is the purpose of travel?
Bro: To visit my brother and his family

Vo: For how long your brother has been living there?
Bro: Explained

Vo: What does he do?
Bro: Explained

Vo: What do you do?
Bro: I am a laser tech at eye hospital

Vo: What is your monthly salary?
Bro: 30000

Vo: Is thisbefore tax?
Bro: Yes

Vo: Where your kids study?
Bro: xyz school

Vo: What is there annual fees?
Bro: Explained

Vo typed something
Now Vo looked at his wife and asked:

Vo: What do you do?
Wife: I am a teacher at xyz

Vo: What is you salary?
Wife: 23000

Vo: Is this before tax?
Wife: Yes

She typed for 30 sec and said sorry your visa can't be issued. She did not look at the sponsorship letter or any other documents. All were very disappointed, been told that if apply with the family the chances are much higher but I guess that's not the case.

All the best to everyone!!

B2 visa approved!
To me it seemed that at least on the day that I visited consulate in Mumbai (July 8, 2016), ALL visa officers were scrutinizing applications of Marathi people very liberally. All of them who interviewed Marathi people showed every sign of tending to readily grant visa with nominal questioning. Ours was family application with 4 members and each of us had to answer only one question which was about our profession i.e. what we do as of now. And that's it. No financial background queries and nothing regarding U.S. point of contact. Majority of applicants there belonged to one particular community (you know which that is ;-) LOL) who were questioned thoroughly and also I saw only these people being rejected visa application.
Further, as far as consulate in Mumbai is concerned, rest assured that how you dress DOES NOT make pennyworth difference to visa officer. Just dress in the way you find yourself comfortable.
Best luck to interviewees.

B1/B2 visa approved
First, thanks to God for his mercies on us. Visa or no Visa, He is always merciful to us starting from the life He gives us.

So my story is that I have been rejected for a tourist visa on 3 occasions before this. I live in a foreign country, first as a student and now as a worker. I got denied twice in the foreign country and once in my home country. I almost lost hope but I persevered.

So this time I realy hoped for the best, but then was prepared for the worst since I was already used to it. The interview was very short.

Me: Goodmorning (With a smile)
VO: Goodmorning (Looking at my passport and my application on his computer screen)

VO: So how long have you lived here?
Me: 5 years now Sir

VO: And why are you going to the US?
Me: to attend a conference

VO: Whats the conference about
Me: told him (In short and precise words)

VO: read my application and most likely read my explanation of my past rejections

VO: do you have any relatives in the US
Me: Distant relatives but haven't been in contact with them

VO: typed on his computer for about 30 seconds

VO: Sir your visa has been approved, the slip will tell you how to mail your passport back to us for printing.

Me: Thank you sir, thanks a lot.

I was elated. Excitement was an understatement.

Notes: It doesn't matter what you do, if they are gonna reject you they most likely will. Your application matters.

However things like dressing well, smiling, answering in short and precise responses.

It is never easy to get rid of nervousness, but it helps to plan for the worst even while you are hoping for the best. That helps you shake the nervousness a little.

Thanks to immihelp for valuable feedback and experiences, it realy helped reading previous experiences on here.

God Bless you all

ME: To visit my cousin and my uncle and to see a few places of tourist interest.
VO: How long are you planning to stay there?

VO: Who is funding your trip?
ME: Flight charges will be taken care of by my dad, and my expenditure over there by my uncle.

B2 visa interview
Hello everyone,

My husband got B1 visa a day before and my interview was the next day. Here is how it went:

My interview was in delhi and it took me 25 minutes to reach VO; the line moves very fast and its all very systematic.

ME: good morning
VO: Where are you going in US
ME: Washington and new york for 2 weeks and then come back
VO: Have you traveled before:
ME: Yes, Singapore and Indonesia
VO: purpose of travel
ME: accompanying my husband going there for business meetings
VO: asked the purpose of husband visit
ME: Told her the details (interestingly now the interview was more about my husband)
VO: has he traveled before?
ME: Not yet
VO: May I see his visa
ME: It is under process and here is a copy of his passport (thank god I took it with all my papers the last minute, this was d only document asked)
VO: are you working and for how long?
ME: XX company and moire than 4 years
VO starts tying and is scrolling something, I guess my application. it went on for good 30 seconds and my heart sanked. VO looks at me and expressionless asked the last question
VO: what does your parents do?
ME: Thinking that of all the things I read in immihelp, from where this question arrived. But answered them
VO: IN soft voice.. your visa is approved

I was soo happy and ran out in joy. got my visa for 10 years. thanks immihelp for starting this forum, really really helped a lot.

My key takeways-
The main is your DS-160 form, they decide mostly on that basis
Be honest and confident
VO has not much time and hardly ask for documents.. but they can ask for any document

All the best to all reading this!!

Chances for B2 visa application.
Hello eveybody.

I have recently filled in an application for a B2 visa. My situation is that i have moved to Berlin and got a citizen ID 1 month ago. I also work here and have all my paperwork here.

 My fiance is american and we have been living together for 3 months now. In August we want to go to a gaming event in Seattle and to visit his mother.

My question is there a way for him to come with me to the interview? I have not seen how to add him as my companion since he does not have to apply for visa, being american.
