Visitor Visa - B2
Fields marked as * are required.
B2 - Tourist Visa (Pakistan)
Firstly, I am a Gay Male, visiting my boyfriend in the United States. He currently resides in NY and we are both from the state of Pakistan. We were planning on going to Hawaii for New Years Celebration and possible doing a spiritual marriage in Hawaii (HNL). My interview date was in Islamabad,PK (Nov 30, 2010). I arrived extra early due to security protocol. The instructions given by American Express was to be there at 8:00 AM. I checked my bag and mobile and took the express bus to the embassy. I stood in line and waited in the freezing cold as they only allowed certain people in. When I got in, there were a total of 9 windows. I waited for my turn which was around 10:00 AM. I was called to one of the windows and they wanted to know the following: 1) Why did I want to go to the US? 2) where was I going to stay? 3) What job I did? 4) Did I want to stay in the US?. However these questions lasted 25 minutes more than any other interviews that were going on. The woman was puzzeled that I was GAY... and that I wanted to go there. I showed her my boyfriend and my Airline Tickets, Hotel Reservation and since we are moving after Hawaii to UAE our Apartment Lease in UAE. Also with my Job Letter in UAE and his Job Letter in UAE and that we had no intent to stay in the US at all. I was given a white paper that said "I was approved" and my passport was taken for Administrative Processing. She said it could take any where from 2 weeks to 3 months. It has been 2 weeks already and I am still waiting. I will update this post once I recieve my passport back with my visa.

B2 VISA for Infant
Hi Friends,
I’m working with US MNC in India from last 5 years and travelled US 6 times for short visit (1-2 weeks) on B1. Now I’m planning to take my wife (housewife) and 5 months son. I need to apply their B2 VISA. Could anyone tell me about the procedure for applying VISA for infant? Can they get 10 years multiple entries VISA? Any pointers/suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Raj

3. How much do you earn?
4. What is your daughter doing in US?
5. What do you have in India (Properties)
Thats all. Didn't ask any documents to verify.
Good luck to all of you..

Visitor VISA for my mom
This website was very helpful in preparing the documents and preparing my mother for the interview for visitor VISA.The interview was on 6th December at Hyderabad in telugu language. My mother is a single parent so I had concerns about her getting VISA but she got the VISA!
Questions asked:
Why do you want to go to USA?
Who do you have in India?
When did your husband pass away?
And then she said "Your visa has been issued."
I had her practice for the interviews agan and again until she was completely comfortable.
The process of going into the consulate and the security check itself can be very intimidating for single parents who are going alone. Make sure you tell your parents about what happens inside the consulate. Some times the interview is over so quickly that parents often sont realize it. My mom thought that there was going to be an interview where she will sit down and talk to the officer :-)
Sounds silly but you dont know until you experience I guess.
Make sure to prepare well and for all questions on immihelp.The officer wont ask all questions but preparing will help to gain the confidence needed for the interview.
That's just my opinion. Hope this helps you and I sincerely wish you the best of luck!
