Morning, i'm italian and I'll got with with my peruvian girlfriend in Peru and our flight has stop on the Miami for only 68 hours. 20 days ago embassy denied her B2 visa INA Section 214 (b) ragion,
I read on this site that letters of support from U.S. family and friends cannot guarantee visa issuance; rather, consular officers consider the travel plans and ties of each applicant to determine if the applicant overcomes the presumption of immigrant intent. We just payd for all flight trips, including perù 3 local flights and hotels, we provided all tour details, she has full job contract from 3 years, and she lives in italy since 2005 with regular permits, but she has not property, has a little bank deposit as she often send money to perù family as all foreign people, only one brother that doesn't live with her; she earns only 800€ for month, will be this one, the problem? we have a friend in miami where we'll stay during our brief USA stop. Someone told me that for visitor visa success, she should show a well paying permanent job, or married with me.. How can we show, that it's not immigrant intent????
we have 68hours of layover (10hours the first day and 58hours of last day of our whole peruvian tour) as you can see on this image

Mother in Law visa rejected under 214 b, have to reapply
Hi All,
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences, it is extremely helpful.
My mother in law is a widow and we had applied for her visa with my sister in law in June 2012. The interview language was Hindi but the VO asked all questions in English. My sister in law knows English so he answered and mother in law stayed quiet for the entire process. The visa was rejected under 214B.
My sister in law is now married and we want to re-apply for my mother in law's visa.
1) What are the chances that the visa will be approved?
2) What should be written in the section for reason for visa refusal in DS 160?
3) Any other tips/suggestions will be really helpful.
Thanks,
Mehak

US B1/B2 Visa interview experiece
Really appreciate the the time taken by the people to commen/share their experience here. It really helps others to know the queries that are generally asked for a specific Visa application. Again thanks.
I went for B1/B2 Visa and got it approved. Thanks to the pointers by other users. Below goes my experience and understanding for this Visa type.
Points to be noted by interviewee:
1. Be confident, stand straight and greet the interviewer.
2. Pay attention to the interviewer. Don't look lost and ask him/her to repeat again and again.
3. You are not going to do WORK there (as it is B1/B2 type). Mind it answer NO if you are asked the same.
4. State precisely your stay duration like 1/23 weeks etc. It will give them the feeling that all is fixed and planned.
5. You do not have any intention/plan to stay longer than the scheduled duration.
6. Be short and to the point in answers. Do not volunteer for information.
7. If the visit is technical/training/meetings, sate it in short. It will give impression on the interviewer. Again, NO WORK there(though don't state this until asked)
8. Apart from your visiting place (client/Company HeadQuarters etc.) you don't know anyone there.
9. Documents to carry:
a) Invitation letter: From client or parent company copy + Originals.
a) ID proof: Apart from obvious passport carry copy of PAN card/Driving liscence. 1 copy will do. No originals needed, as they have chip inside. You have to leave them if security suspects, hence, better leave.
b) Educational certificates: 10th, 12th, Bachelors marksheet + degree (and Masters if you have one). 1 copy each + originals if asked for.
c) Offer letter from current company + Resignation of last company(if there). 1 copy each will do. Carry originals if you can.
Questions asked to me:
1. Name?
Ans. Stated clearly.
2. Your Company name?
Ans. As mentioned in invitation letter.
3. Purpose of US visit?
Ans. Mentioned in short. Same as present in the invitation letter.
4. What you will be doing during the visit?
Ans. Explained the above in a bit detail about it. (Be technical here if possible).
NOTE, NO WORK, JUST MEETING/TRAINING or what ever the purpose is.
5. Where does your parents stay? Do you live in a joint family?
Ans. Answered.
Your Visa is approved. Thank you.
Thank him/her back.
B1/B2 interview will last only 1-2 mins (or 3-4 mins max in some case). It's pretty short. You just have to be confident and informative in your answers.
Though if the time period (like recession etc.) or if Indian service company has done some cheat in US, it could be a bit tough, but no rocket science involved, at least for B1/B2. Be confident and know what you are saying.
Good Luck and know that being nervous is completely OKey :)
It's not the end of the word(which was on my mind, stated by one of you who shared the experience below :))

B1 Visa from India
Had applied for US Visa for self & my wife and took appointment for scanning to OFC. Faced with problem in name since being a Tamilian, only given name was applicable in passport and no surname. Corrected at Collection centre by paying a small amount and modified the name in application with given name as surname and first name as FNU.
Took all supporting documents at the time of Visa Interview at Mumbai 2 weeks later including no-objection form from employer, invitation letters from my brother (he is a US citizen) and my daughter (she is a student), bank statement, property registration documents, self prepared financial statement, old passport with 20 years old Visa, etc. Drove to the consulate in my car but since remote keys were not allowed inside, I deposited it with a person outside with some apprehension who gave a receipt for his charge. Advised not to drive with such car keys if there is nobody accompanying.
At the time of Interview, Visa officer asked general questions about purpose of visit and about my job. Also asked what my daughter was doing. Further asked my wife whether she had travelled abroad which she little bit fumbled but I clarfied. The officer smiled and told that it will take about 5 days time. Visa issued to my wife same afternoon. After agonising wait, on 5th day the site showed that my passport is under administrative processing. On 6th day I also received the passport with Visa stamped. Overall good experience with some hiccups at every stage!

Approved B2 Visa in Mumbai Consulate
Many thanks to immihelp forums. My parents visa was rejected twice earlier. This time we prepared very well although we did earlier too.
The possible reason for rejection for last 2 times was when asked if you have any savings we said no and next time they asked how many children do you have for which my parents answered two, son n Daughter and daughter is married.
This time our interview was scheduled at 7 45 am - first good thing. Although we chose hindi translator but we didnt have her there and the interview was direct. Asked only two questions .. Why do you want to go to US and why only at this time. . For both the question as soon as my father started replying. . She interrupted and said it's okay. . Don't be tensed and I am giving you visa.. Thanks once again and good luck to everyone trying ahead.
