Hi,
Got my Visa this morning for 10 years multiple entry, which was approved last Friday. This is how it went:
VO: How are you doing today?
Ans: Good. How about yourself?
VO: Good. Can I have your passport?
VO: Ok... lets pull your records. Alright, so you going to Illinois?
Ans: Yes.
VO: Who lives there?
Ans: My sister
VO: How long would you be going?
Ans: Just 10 days for my mandatory vacation.
VO: Mandatory?
Ans: Yes. I work with xxx company n need to take mandatory off per policy.
VO: Alright, what do you do at xxx company?
Ans: xxx team managing xxx process.
VO: And what's your pay?
Ans: xxx. Would you want to see the document?
VO: Nah, that's fine.
VO: Alright. You married?
Ans: Yes.
VO: Alright Sir. All looks good, your papers are in order. You should get your passport in 7 days time.
He smiled and added something like have a good vacation at sister's place!
It took me some time to digest the fact that after all this preperation and paper work visa officer didn't really wanted to see anything and approved my visa!!! And here I receive the courier this morning with 10 year multiple entry visa. To all this is what I would recommend:
Be confident. Look at the VO and speak.
Don't hide the facts. They just want to ascertain the actual reason for you to be visiting US and if you are funding your trip, like in my case, ensure you have sufficient funds (though in my case VO didn't ask for it).
Smile and give responses. Don't be tense or think that you are in court of law. You are only applying for a visa. Great if you get it, else you can always apply again - have that attitude.
Last, it depends on your luck as well.
All the very best!
Regards,
Srini

Visitor visa rejected for parents in hyderabad
My parents visitor visa has been rejected in hyderabad.
I am still trying to figure out what is the reason. I had every document and my parents answered correctly.
This is the 3rd time they have rejected. I am really confused and is frustrating me.
Questions asked to my parents:
Where are you going?
My father told my adress
VO: why do you want to go?
Father: To see my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and to see US.
VO: what do you do?
Father: Teached at XYZ school.
VO: When did your son first go to US?
Father: 2006
VO: when did he come back for vacation?
Father: 2008 for his wedding.
VO: How long do you want the visa?
Father: 2 - 3 months or whatever you give.
VO: Give me bank statement?
Father: He was pulling the document. VO asked to give the file. He handed over the file.
VO scrolled through all pages and said sorry.
214B was issues when my father asked the reason they were told the paper has information. It has nothing its standard 214B.
Its really confusing and frustrating.

My mum and Dad got visitor visa few days back (Mumbai Consulate). I read immihelp carefully and prepared sponsor documents accordingly.
This site is really good.
Questions asked to my mum and dad were generic in nature.
Once they got to know that my parents want to come back to India, the interview went smoothly.
I am now planning to get my in laws visa as well.
thanks Immihelp.

My parents attended Chennai consulate and granted visitor visa for 10 years. Posting our interview experience.
We scheduled the interview in Tamil. But there was no translator present. The VO himself managed to speak Tamil
VO: vanakkam
Parents: vanakkam
VO: where are you going
Mom: xxxxx, xxxx
VO: what is the purpose
Mom: meet my son and spend time with his family and visit places in USA
VO: to my mom – how many children you have?
Mom: 2 sons
VO: where is the other son?
Mom: working in chennai
VO: to my mom – what are you doing?
Mom: xxxx
VO: to my dad – what are you doing?
Dad: retired from xxxx.
VO: do you receive pension?
Dad: xxxxx
VO: do you own a house in India?
Dad: yes. It is registered on my name.
VO: how long you want to stay?
Mom: 6 months( this is not a very good answer. She had to say it because, in the DS160, I have mentioned it 6 months. My friends said, recommended answer is 2-3 months, to convince the VO that you are going purely for a visit)
Always remember and stick to the information you enter in DS160 ( especially Fathers Profession, Mothers Profession, sponsors legal status, duration of stay, place of visit, intended day of travel, education details etc)
He didn’t ask anything else and said Visa is granted and gave a sheet with phone number to contact to track passport.
Thanks Immihelp contributors for posting their experience. That helped a lot.

Finally my mom made it through the Visitor Visa
Hi all,
Thank you for all the answers you share.
Here's my story short.
Sponsored my mom (widow) 1st time, rejected under 214b even though my brother and Sil are living along with my mom in india.
This time, made changes :
1. 6months duration to 3months.
2. Self Sponsored
3. Sent all the savings i made to her account, got the bank statement.
4. Got the Notary certificate made for all the property and savings she had.
5. NOC from my brother.
6. Took a translator like last time, telugu.
My mom recieves rent from a a portion of her home, pension from my dad's job. she's a home maker.
She was asked Q's like below
1. Who's in US
2. Who's sponsoring
3. Where do you stay
4. How long have you been staying in that house
5. is that in a posh area
6. how long you want to stay in US
after all this, they didnt ask for any documents !!!
We told her to be bold, loud and confident. Because my mom is very soft like all our moms are :) ... so we told her please be loud, even though it might seem you're shouting please do. This gives an impression that u're not lying and talking to urself which most of clients say to me.
Then came the golden words...
Its approved and will be mailed in a week.
Thanks All...

Re- Application for Tourist Visa
Hello ,
I need urgent help, Appreciate any help in below queries regard.
I will be going to US on my H1-B in first week of Feb'12. My dependent my 4 months son is coming with me on H4.
I applied for my parents tourist visa but unfortunately it got rejected, VO just asked them few questions like where are you going, do you have anyone there and few simple ones. At the end of Interview VO rejected their visa. I think most reason would be that my parents dont have anyone there and still making a tour would not have appealed VO much. Also interview was done in Marathi.
Now frankly speaking i want to get my mom with me just till my son crosses his 6 months, once he is 6 months i can put him in good day care. Also once they come there i can take them to various places. Am at this point of time disheartened as my child is still small and taking my mom there would be great help to me.
Option i have now in front me is once i reach there in Feb first week, i send invitation letter immediately to them.
so I need help in knowing will this option work or what could be the chances. I am anyways preparing myself mentally to keep my child at day care but still want to see if this option works.
Please let me know what things i should take care this time, is there any other option i could see.
Please advice, leaving my 4 months child to someone stranger is nightmare to me.
Appreciate any help!!!

My 12 yrs old Niece Visa - How do we proceed
Hi there,
I want to call my 12 yrs old niece to visit USA with my parents(her grandparents) in this summer. My parents have 10 yrs multiple visa and they visited USA many times (mother- 2 times and father-5 times).
How do we proceed with my niece's visa interview. Intreview should be in Mumbai.
Do we apply her visa with her parents?? OR She can appear in visa intereview alone?
As she is a minor, do my parents (anyone of them) or her parents (anyone of them) allow to accompany her while visa interview?
which specific documents we should prepared?
I believe my father can solely sponser her entire trip to USA, in such a case, which financial documents she needs to carry for interview? my father's or her father's?
I am at stay at home mom and I have 2 yrs old son. I can provide my husband's company paperwork if needed.
Please advise more that which documents we need to prepare and carry for her interview?
What are the answers we need to prepare for such kind of interview.
I appreciated for your help. Please advise ASAP as I want to call them in April (summer).
Thank you.
Karmi
