Visa interview in Tamil
Hi,

Thanks to immihelp, I was able to apply my parents visa without any agent and just with the help of immihelp and the experiences of people shared here.

My parents went to Visa interview in chennai today and they were greeted by VO (American who spoke tamil very fluently). Following were the questions asked.

All below conversation was in tamil

VO: Good morning
Parents: GM (Both mom and dad)

VO: Purpose of visit
Father: Tourism and meet my son
Same question to Mom

VO: How long u intend to stay
F: 5 months

VO: What are you doing now.
F: Retired

VO: What you did before
F: <Answered appropriately>

Same to questions to mom

VO: Congrats your visa is approved (And said namaste and greeted my parents)
Parents: Thank you.

Was less than 1 min for them. I think the confidence in answer and being truthful is important in the interview

All the best for the other.

Visitor visa to both parents
My brother in law and sister reside in US and my parents wanted to visit them,
Both my parents are employed. My sister is carrying. But she is staying with her in laws there who are there to take care of her. Also, they will be hiring day care/ nannies to take care of the baby after delivery. But we were worried about how to handle this situation with the VO. We had prepared for questions commonly asked. And held 2 principles -
1. To be honest in all answers
2. To not provide unnecessary information, unless it conflicted with the first point.

We had ticked self under Sponsor column. We had carried these documents :

Common :
1. Chartered Accountant letter showing assets and deposits in bank.
2. Invitation letter.
3. Family photos.
4. My study certificate from college
5. Appointment letter.
6. VISA fee receipt

DAD and MOM each:
1. EMployer NOC certificate
2. Leave letter.
3. Salary slips - 3 months
4. Tax receipts - 3 months.
5. Passport and ID cards
6. DS 160 confirmation page.
7. tickets.

BIometrics took 15 mins the day before Visa Interview. Interview was scheduled in Oct 2015 at Chennai Consulate which went like this :

1. (To my dad) Are you working for ..... ?
A. Yes

2. (To my mom) Are you working for ....?
A. Yes

3. What is the purpose of visit?
A. (dad)To tour US and pay a visit to my daughter's family.

4. Which places do you want to visit?
A. (dad) Washington, Newyork city, Philadelphia, Atlanta city, Niagara falls (VO smiles and says "Yes, I wanted to hear that".

5. Have you bought the tickets?
A. We are taking care of travel expenses. Staying and other is taken care by my son in law (VO : Yes , tickets is the main cost. All other expenses are minor right.)

6. How long do you want to stay ?
A. Dad for 15 days and mom for 3 months. ( VO : (to my mom) Do you get so much leave ? . my mom said yes)

VO : Your VISA is approved. Enjoy your vacation.

None of the documents were asked.

Passport was collected 2 days later at a collection centre.

Immihelp was a lot of help indeed ! Thank you.
All the best to all applicants

Visitor Visa Granted
Hi. First of All, Million thanks to Immihelp. It couldn't have been possible without your help. The questions and answer posted by many of the users were of great help indeed.

Firstly, I'd like to tell everybody that I filled DS 160 on my own, not taken any help from any of the travel agents or visa consultants. Didn't do any formal training. I had applied for tourist visa along with my wife and my two years old daughter. Following were the questions asked :

Date Oct 14, 2015. Time 8 AM.

Language : English

VO : Good Morning
We : Good Morning Sir!

VO : Passport please
Me : Sure Sir

VO : Why do you want to travel to US?
Me : For tourism

VO : What do you do for living?
Me : Explained my job profile (Working in leading Pvt Bank as Branch Manager)

VO : What's your highest qualification?
Me : Masters in Mathematics

VO : Do you have any relatives in US?
Me : Yes, Wife's cousin

VO : Which place?
Me : Explained

VO : Where does he work?
Me : Explained

VO : Have you got your leaves approved?
Me : Yes

Then, he started to type for almost 30 seconds.

VO : Do you own a car?
Me : Yes (Told brand and model name)

Next, he started asking questions from my wife

VO : What do you do Ma'am?
Wife : Explained (Asst. Professor)

VO : Higest qualification?
Wife : Masters in Computer applications

VO : Which subjects do you teach?
Wife : Explained

Then came the golden words, Your visa is approved. You can collect your VIsa from our Visa Centre.

Now, time for few tips :

Be confident, don't lie, don't get nervous. We didn't do any prepartion for Visa interview, it was like just a formal discussion. So, be yourself and look straight into the Visa Officer's eyes while talking.

Secondly, If you believe in GOD, then keep telling yourself that
GOD IS WITH ME AND WHEN GOD IS WITH YOU, NOTHING WRONG CAN HAPPEN.

In your imagination, keep telling yourself that God is guiding you. God is with you in the interview as well and you'll feel the magic. I've applied this technique in my professional career as well, at the time of review meetings, during job interviews or any other important work or assignment that i take up, the results are always positive and in my favour. This tip has also worked wonders and I've changed the perception and negative thinking of many many people. Best of luck.
