Documents required for Visitor Visa
Hi All,
I am in US working on L1 visa in US, now my parents wants to join me for few months on Visitor Visa. My question is:
1. What are the documents required to submit/produce during the Visa Application/Interview?
2. I do not have any A/c in US, cause my company give me per diem allowances. So Do I need to send the I-134 (Affidavit of support) letter to my parents?
I will appreciate your reply..
Cheers
Rak

Visitor visa issued in mumbai- second attempt
My parents got their visa approved today - this was their second attempt. My father is retired and mother is employed in school.First time they went on Jan 4th,2005 and the questions asked was:
To my Father:
1. Why do u wnat to go to US
2. Have u travelled to US before
3. How long do u wnat to go.
4. Where did u retire from.
Since my father retired from BARC, they didnt bother to ask further questions and no questions were asked to my mother.
In the second attempt we did a lot of practice of answering the questions and my mother decided to answer first. This time the questions asked were:
To my mother:
1. Where do u work and nature of work.
2. Asked abt my father and asked her to hand over to my father
To my Dad:
1. All work related, including every minute details.
The interview went on for abt 15 min and they were issued the visa.
So all those whose visas were rejected first time, please do not be discouraged. Go confidenly and well prepared the second time.

Mother got Visa
Hi,
My Mother had 9.30AM appointment for the visa interview on 31st Jan at the Chennai Consulate.We chose Telugu translator and it's a great help for her.
When her turn came,she wished both the officer and translator then the officer asked the following questions
1)Who filled the form DS-156(which was my brother)?
2)How many children do you have?
3)My brother's job(India)?
4)Why's my father not accompnying her(passed away)?
5)My father's job?
6)What does the sponser(my husband) do?
7)Sponser's company name?
8)My visa status?
9)How long I've been here?
10)Whether or not I have kids?
11)Whether she wants to stay here permanently?
12)Whether your daughter wants to settle in US permanently?Does that discussion ever came up?
Over all it took about 15 mins to finish this.
Then the officer asked for the sponser's docs and asked her to pay the fee.Then my Mom thanked the officer and the translator and gave the finger prints.
Who ever attended the interview around that time got their visas accepted it seems.
Don't know how long she's been granted visa yet.
I'am very thankful to immihelp.com for the information present here and the discussion board.
Good Luck to you all!!!

Who lives in the US?
Which place are you going to?
Where does your Son-in-law work?
What is your Son-in-Law's salary?
How many children do you have?
What is your daughter's age?
What is your son's age?
Who will look after your son while you are away?
And then the officer asked my mother-in-law if she works.She said yes.(She is a teacher)She was asked the following questions again..
Where do you work?
What do you teach?
Do you have enough leave to go for such a long period?
To which my M-I-L answered that she has been granted four months leave so she will come back after four months.
She was then told that she's been given the Visa and she could go to the counter to pay the DD

My parents got visitors' visa - Mumbai consulate
My parents had an interview with Mumbai consulate for a visitors' visa. The appointement was scheduled at 9:30 AM and they asked for a Marathi translator. Following questions were asked during the conversation:
To Father:
1. Why do you want to visit USA?
2. What is your occupation?
3. Where does your son[me]work? Do you have any proof?
4. Did your son send an invitation letter to you? Can I see it?
5. Did your son send any letter addressed to the consulate? Can I please see it?
To Mother:
1. What do you do?
2. How many children you have?
3. Who lives with you here?
At this point, the officer asked to hand over the phone again back to my father and he asked one more question which I thought was tricky.
To father:
1. How long you want to go?
My father answered four months. The officer asked that other people usually ask for 6 months and then why do you want a visa for shorter period of time.
I think my father answered this question real well. Here is the answer:
My mother lives with us and is fully dependent on us. Also I have a house here and I am a retired person with my all property here so we need to come back as soon as we can.
At that point, the officer said that their visa was granted and will be delivered in 2-3 days. Then my parents thanked the officer and translator.
We are thankful to immihelp.com for the wealth of information present here and the discussion board. We wish all other aspirants the best!!!
In the end, I want to put few things on the board:
1. Make sure to carry all the documents as prescribed on this web site
2. Be confident and relaxed, do not panic
3. Take multiple rehearsals on the phone with your parents to build confidence
Please contact us if we can be of further help to you.
Thanks,

visitor's visa got rejected 2nd time.
Is there anyway that we can convince the consulate people that our parents intention to travel to USA is only tourism and meetin with family members. This is the second time my dad's visa got rejected. All that money we spent went in the drain. If anyone reading this knows how to convince these people or take a letter from someone to convince them, please share that with us. I really don't want to give up. Any help would be appreciated.
