Visitor visa experience sharing
Hi,Thanks to Immihelp.com for creating forum like this. Here is my scenario.

Consulate: Hyderabad
Application: Followed new application process which is cool. Photo upload/Saving file/Upload file etc.
Who attended the interview: Father, Mother-in-law, Sister-in-law.
My father and mother-in-law got approved 10 yr multiple entry visa. Sister-in-law (studying, not married, no job) visa got rejected .
------------
More Information in the interview:
We took family appointment in Telugu. Interestingly enough the consulate officer spoke in telugu.
Father Retd teacher - So CO asked about his pension. How many kids he has in India. What is he doing now (He does farming).
Mother-in-law: She holds central govt job.
CO asked her about current job.
Sister-in-law - As she speaks english, CO asked her few questions about here and also about my father and mother-in-law (something to note about). Primarily he asked her about studies (she is doing air-hostess training). . He came back and asked few more questions once finished my father and mother-in-law. In the 2nd round CO asked about job. Asked her about job (she is not doing any job and we didn't mention in the application).

Finally we have little hopes on my sister-in-law visa considering she studying and not doing job.

Key is preparation irrespective of what others say. This is painful. My wife took care of this business. You don't know what questions they are going to ask.

My father and mother-in-law felt that very relaxed and confident during interview. Obviously they felt the whole preparation thing is waste.

That is it my friends. Best of luck to all of you guys.

Visa Rejected
Hi Friends,
First of all I would like to thank Immihelp for all information.

I am GC holder and my wife is USA citizen. I am working as a software developer and wife is also working. We both makes good amount of money.

We invited and sponsored my bother, his wife and his daughter. Also we invited my uncle and aunt to visit USA on my graduation (may-2010) and for tourist purpose.

I took their appointment same day but different time.
Both were asked question those were expected. Like,
1.) who is inviting you?
2.) who is sponsoring you?
3.) Why are you going?
4.) What does your sponsor do in USA?
5.) How much do they earn?
6.) what do you do in india?
7.) How many children do you have?

Answer of these questions were straigh forward and simple. They answered all the question correctly.
But at the end of interview they said "sorry, we can't approve you visa this time".

It's very depressive that after spending soo much time in preparing everything and having everything perfect, they refuse visa.

I dont understand what did go wrong?

My Parents Got a Visitor Visa - B2 Telugu (Hyderabad Consulate)
I would like to share my experiences as my Parents got their B2-Visitor visas. They appeared at consulate on 15th march at 10:15 A.M and VO asked why are you going ? he said my son is staying there. What are you doing , he said he is working in a BANK(Central Govt Employee). Thats all they asked and said you get your passport within 7 days.

Just prepare with proper documentation and you will get it.

B2 Visa Application must
PER VFS, THE APPLICANT MUST SUBMIT THE APPLICATION WITH SUPPORTING DOCS, 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE APPOINTMENT WITH CONSULATE.

THE CONSULATE WEBSITE STATES THAT YOU CAN SEND THE DOCS TO VFS VIA COURIER. DO NOT DO THAT.

ALSO COLLECT YOUR PASSPORT FROM VFS OFFICE AND NOT FROM YOUR VILLAGE.

VFS DOES NOT ACCEPT COURIER APPLICATION
We have an appointment for March and sent the necessary paperwork via courier prior to the appointment per Immihelp. The courier called us and stated they cannot accept the paperwork and that the applicant has to hand over the paperwork to VFS in person.
It dos not say anywhere on the consulate website that the paperwork has to be submited by the applicant in person.

Hi

I have sponsored my sister(38 years) & my sister's daughter (12) years for B2 visitor visa. Since my brother-in law is working & he did't get leave we have not applied VISA for him, only my sister went for VISA interview but VO officer rejected visa & reason mentioned is 214(b). VO didn't asked any documnets. I have sent all required sponsor documnets & my sister also carried their property, family bonding documnets.
I would like to take visa appointemnet again this time for all 3 (brother-in law, sister their daughter).

Please advice how to prepare for this kind of tourist VISA.

Thanks
Manjunath

Hi-

My parents live in Bangalore with my brother & sister-in-law. We had book the B2 Visa appointment in telugu for my parents in Chennai consulate. I had sent all the copies of my docs to them, did not send any original document (like bank statement, account verification letter, employment letter etc.,). Their interview is on 4th March. Please suggest me if I need to send my original copies? And what all questions they would ask? And my father is not an employee, will it be a problem?

Older sister's visa?
Almost all of these postings here are for parents visa.

I would like to invite my sister (53 years old) and her husband (58 years) to US for a month tour. They have family shops and house as properties in India and their children are also married. What's the likelihood or risk of getting rejection?
