10 yr visa approved
Hi!
Thanks to Immihelp all other members for the experience.
My parents were granted a 10yr visa at Mumbai consulate. All questions were asked to my father while mother was not asked anything.
My father was asked questions related to his work prior to retirement. He travelled a lot on job trips so was asked the reasons for so much travel. Was later asked about son-in-law's work & how many other children he has & where they are. 2 officers questioned him.
No other documents besides I-134 was seen.
From what I understood from my father is that the key is to be confident while talking to the officers. Be relaxed.
All the best to all others!

Need advice
Hi,
My parents had an appointment at the chennai consulate on the 21 Apr 05 for a Vistors visa. They had earlier visited us in 2001 for 2 months under a visitors visa which was valid for 1 year. As this was the second visit, we were thinking that the application process would be smooth.
The consular officer, interviewed both my parents and told them to pay the fees as the visa was granted. However, while walking to the fee counter, they were recalled and told that the decision was being reveresed as computer records showed that my father had been sponsered by his sister in 1989 for a immigrant visa. Also, the officer had noticed that the application indicated non presence of brothers & sisters in the US. This was clearly a mistake made during the process of filling up the forms in haste as my mother does not have any brothers and sisters in the us. The 2001 visa were stamped as 'cancelled without prejudice'.
I have the following Q's:
1) Will they get a official rejection letter?
2) Can they reappeal?
3) Is it true that one can reapply within 3 days?
Any help would be appreciated

VISITOR VISA GRANTED - 10 YEARS MULTIPLE ENTRY
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT HELP AND SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERING THRU THIS WEBSITE. I WOULD DEFINITELY TRY TO HELP AS FAR I CAN FOR ANY USERS QUERIES.
Just spoke to my mom . She went for the interview this tuesday and got her passport today only with 10 years multiple entry.
Since I was moving out from central US to Eastcoast , I did not have access to computer and hence could not update you all. Sorry about that. Well , there are couple of things that I would like to state here.
1. I took the entire pressure and checked the various permutations and combinations and issues with the documents with ofcourse all your suggestions, there by making my mom just cool.
2. I went about the process , just 25 days before the appointment . The key is everyday I would ask her one task to do , like I asked her to collect NOC one day from office, next day Leavesanction letter and employment verification.
So thereby instead of overloading and making them feel its a very tedious task and pressurising old people back home , we can work this way.
3. Apart from this , I just prepared 30 questions and answers in native language and sent it across to her and asked her to memorise just 4 days before the interview inorder to stay fresh in mind. I also sent a checklist containing the order in which she needs to carry the documents (visitorand then sponsor). I sent one copy of the checklist to a friend of mine and had them check back in chennai too. Even the DD , I asked my friend to purchase for her , so that she does not make any mistake in stress or pressure.
4. Once everything was set, just three days before the interview , I conducted mock interviews with her and made sure that she dresses up neat and wishes the officer with a smile.
5. My mom had 10.30 a.m appointment , but she went in early around 8.00 a.m. itself and they let her in. On that day she was intelligent to go early becoz there was huge procession in chennai which blocked the entire consulate road for more than 2 hours.
6. Officer himself spoke in native language and not the translator. It was really nice and my mom wished him and smile and answered pretty cool. When they asked my husband's status ,she was about to show the notice of action and I-134 but the officer asked her not to and it was fine.
7. The questions were what was her name, where is my husband, where she was working and who is back in chennai apart from me.
8. that's it she was asked to pay the fees.
KEY IS AT ANY COST NOT TO PRESSURISE THE PEOPLE BACK AT HOME AND MAKING THEM FEEL VISA IS NOT THE ULTIMATE THING IN THE WORLD.But still doing the tasks to get it.

visitor visa granted in 2nd attempt.
My parents visitor visa was approved in their second attempt on April 22nd, 2005. we don't know for how long the visa is granted.
The interview was for about 10 minutes.Lot of questions were asked but My parents could remember only a part of them.
What do you do?
Farm.
How much yield will you get?
what do you grow?
what is your total income for a year?
Then there was some casual conversation about the farm and then the questions were about my brother(who also stays here) even though it was my husband who is the sponsor. No questions were asked about my husband.
How many years has your son been in US?
In what visa did he go?
Where did he study?
where is he working?
and finally they asked
why do you want for 5 months?
My dad had explained that some places like white house has a 3 months wait period to visit.
http://brownback.senate.gov/FKToursText.htm
My father said initially when the passport and application were scrutinized by the lady she had written the previously rejected date on the cover(PR date).They also said the whole experience was better than the first and he explained his ties back in India confidently even before they could ask him.
The questions that were asked when they visited the first time are
what do you do?
who is sponsoring the trip?
How many children do you have?
Does your son have a green card?
Has he applied for permanenet residence?
Not every method works for everyone, but don't lose hope if you get rejected the first time.
The discussions and the posts in immihelp were of great help to us. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Regards,
Anitha

Got visa second time....
Hi,
I am a regular visitor to this website but never got a chance to post anything. My parents come under Chennai jurisdiction but since we did not get a slot there i booked them in Calcutta, but it was unfortunate that in Calcutta they were not given a visa.This was in March05. Seeing posts of Srikar,Manish and immihelp i didnt give up. I tried a slot in Chennai and got one for April'05 and they went. First question asked was
-Why was visa rejected in Calcutta?
-Who is in USA?
-WHat does daughter and son in law do?
-How long do you want to go?
They were granted their visa (dont know for how long).
Friends i think the key to visa is patience,self confidence and faith in yourself.
All the best for others who try the second and third time. Dont give up hope.
Thank-You
