2. Who is sponsoring you
3. Where does the sponsor work
4. Show me the Sponsor Documents
5. when are you coming back
And the visa was granted

Parent's visitor visa was denied
First of all, I would like to thank the administrator Immihelp. Its an awesome website , which helps people like me , who are clueless ( most of us are) about immigration and visa process.
My parents had an interview on Aug 3rd 2005 in Chennai. they had all the paper work etc. I and my wife both are USC.
They asked my parents for my passport and then told them they cannot get the visa as I am USC. and told them to apply for immigration Visa.
Now how rediculus is this. My parent wanted to visit us and go back. Now they are forcing them to get an immigration visa.
I am an younger brother who live in delhi and my paent were showing all the tie to back home. However, this officer didn't even ask this.
Really frustrated. Is this is some kind of rule that parents can't come if sponsor is a USC. Never heard any where. That was the only reason given.
I have to now apply for their immigrant visa, which will take its sweet time I guess.
Thanks

mom got her visitors visa(interview in english)
Hi all,
I'm happy to let you know that my mom got her visitor visa in chennai on aug 2nd.She is still waiting for the passport.I wanted to post my experience as it might help people who accidentally booked their parents interview in English.First of all, if they are able to speak in broken english that is enough.Dont lose hope and cancel the appointment.Give them lot of training for answering in english.Thats what I did in my moms case.Itseems she asked for an interpreter to the officer directly in english :) and he said that you are speaking just fine and asked her to proceed.
There are basic questions like where and what is your daughter doing, what is your son-in-law doing ,show me your daughter's and son-in-law's passports, for how long do you want to stay(3-4months), why do you want to come back after 3 months(since there is another daughter living here and my husband is also living here), why is your husband not accompanying you(He has to look after my daughter, his mother, and property).Thats all.THe officer smilingly told her to pay the fees and go home.
All these answers were given in english with full of confidence due to the training.Initially I was afraid how to prepare my mom ,but after reading all the suggestions from immihelp and other websites, I was assured that practice is all what is required.
I wish you all good luck and hope my experience will be useful for some of you

My in-laws got visa in second attempt on 4th Aug
Hello all,
Thanks to immihelp. My in-laws got visa in second attempt. First time they attended for interview on Feb 2005 got rejected. We don't know it's going to be single entry or multiple entry as we haven't received the passports yet.
Note: When my in-laws attended the interview in the month of FEB, rejections were morethan 70%, now success rate is like 70%. So please be confident and hope for the better results.
Only three questions were aked.
Who is there in USA
FIL answer: Our daughter and family
Who are there is India:
FIL answer: Our two sons and my mom
Show me the affidavit?
FIL: He has presented his affidavit, officer aksed to show the affidavit of sponser, my FIL showed the affidavit from me.
Officer didn't check any other documents.
Officer asked them to pay the dd's at the counter.
In preparing the documentation, I read all the notes from Immihelp and read through all experiances and prepared the check list of documents and all possible questions. I did a mock interview to in-laws and prepared them with suggested answeres and explaied them what not to tell. Asked them same questions again and again, till they feel confident about the questions.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you

No, it was not rejected. But I couldn't travel.

Very Disapointed
I really don’t know what to say.i wanted to visit my best friend cousin who lives in florida and has the American nationality jad 22 years old had cancer
He was in a very critical condition in other words he had few days to live and he wishes to see me as much as I wished to see him. The hospital sent a fax letter to the US embassy in Beirut asking them to give me an emergent visit visa and sent me the original copy signed by the hospital manager and containing the whole information about jad’s condition in order to take it with me to the interview .but unfortunately the counselor rejected my visa request and said sorry you can not see him. Jad died and I couldn’t see him. So thank you I want forget that, my whole life.
