Parents Got 10 Yrs. Multiple Visa - Mumbai Consulate
Hello Everyone,
Thanks a lot IMMIHELP for putting this awesome site together. Very very precise and informative.

My Father(64 yrs) and Mother(58 yrs) appeared for interview at Mumbai Consulate on 11th March at 8.30 am and came out by 10.30 am so the process was smooth and fast. My Father is a Business man and Mother a Home Maker and she visited U.S earlier in 1998. I have an older sister married in India and 2 brothers one in UK(married) and the youngest in India(unmarried). I sent all the documents recommended by the Immihelp ask my father to take all the required Business and property papers. The officer was an young American Lady who also spoke Hindi. The following questions were asked to my parents in Hindi.

What is your Son Doing?
When did he got his Green Card?
(She ask for the GC copy my father showed her the copy and she was impressed because it was a color photo copy and detailed were as clear as original unlike a regular b/w copy.)
How is paying for the trip?
(Asked for the Affidavit of Support letter)
When did you last went to U.S? (question to my mother)
How many children do you have?
Have you travelled outside India recently?(question to my father)

No other questions were asked to my Father on business or occupation. The officer smiled and said you will get your passport by courier tomorrow. Next day just after 1.00 pm PPs
arrived with 10 yrs. multiple visa on them.

Best Wishes,
Liyakat

Officer asked few questions to my father

1. what do you do?
2. How much money you make?
3. Who is sponsoring you?
4. what does your son-in-law and daughter do?
5. How many children you have?(Only Daughter)
6. As my father is a Govt. Employee he asked for
   NOC of my father, and he asked how long ur
   going to stay in USA?

          Then he said, you got the visa, pay the fee in the next counter. I was so worried because i am the only daughter, may be they won't give the visa. This site is really been helpful in preparing the documents and preparing for the Interview. Anyway thanks for this wonderful site.

Visitor Visa Reject under 214 (B) - when and how to try again.
Hello everybody,
First of all congratulations to Immihelp.com for building such a great web-site.
Let me tell my parents' story:
My parents apeared for visa yesterday and they rejected their visa under 214(B) without looking at a single document. They just asked following two question:
Q1. What's your son doing in USA.
A1. He is a software Engineer
Q2. How much you earn here in India.
A2. x,xx,xxx Rs per Year.

He told your visa gets denined under 214(B).
My father tried to show them the document but he didn't listen to him and asked him to leave the window. As per my parents, most of the people got the same response from that window. Is it like this only? Is it like the mood of Officer will decide your chances of getting visa? Any way...past is always regradding...one should look forward..
PLEASE SEND ME YOUR EXPERIECE OR ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU HAVE TO GET AROUND THIS ISSUE.
While reading the experience of people here, I came to know that you can contact a local senator and can request them to fax a letter to Consulate saying review the doc and do need full for this is and this person's visitor's visa applicaiton.. And I learned that It worked in past. So, PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW SHOULD I A SENETOR AND ANY WEB SITE FOR THIS KIND OF ISSUE.
Yours help is greatly appriciated in advance.
Thank you..

asylee status
My mother's visitor visa was rejected on 09 Jan 2003 because of my status in USA. She had a lot of documents with her to prove her financial and family ties but the officer did not even have a look at any of the documents.

I have Asylee status in USA and therefore I cannot file an affidavit of support for my mother. Is it possible for a family friend (US citizen) living in another state to file the affidavit of support even though my mother would be staying with me in California? He would guarantee that my mother would go back to India before the expiry of her authorized stay in the US.

Pls Advise.

Got VISA for 10 yrs on 24th FEB 2004.at Chennai
Myself(53yrs),my wife (53)and my daughter(studying-21 yrs) got visitors visa at chennai.The questions asked were simple and we did not find any difficulty in getting the visa. No questions were asked to my wife. Both of us are working and had all the documents ready with us-kept separately for each of us. The important thing we did was, a list of documents with sufficient information side by side was provided in one sheet highlighting the important factors like value of property, pensionable job, gross salary in each case and all other ties in our place.The sponsors documents were also provided neately. The interveiewing officer was pleased to see all the information in one sheet and granted visa for 10 yrs for me and my wife and one year for my daughter.
The questions asked are: for me: what are U? who is working in states? Where is she working and staying? Where do you land up in states? and for my daughter the questions were: What are u doing? what is yr age? How many years u have to study forther? what is yr future plan? when are u planning to visit and for how many days?
Many thanks to immihelp and those who shared their views under this column. I wish all those who are aspiring for VISA-Best of luck.

Bangalore. for me for my daughter

Do kids have trouble in getting visitor visa?
I would like to invite my nephew and niece for a visit to US this summer. They are under 14 yrs old. What are the chances for them to get the visitor visa? Are these improved if my parents also renew their expired visitor's visa together with them?

Can you share your experiences in getting visa for kids?

thx

Visitor visa: question about sponsor documents
I am sponsoring my parents and grand-mother (mom's mom - different last name than my parents) for a US trip. I have prepared all the documents mentioned in 'Sponsor Documents' section of immihelp.

Should I send separate copies of these sponsor docs (financial support letter, employment letter, paystubs, tax return, bank statements, passport copies etc.) for each visitor? Or one common set of documents (except affidavit of support) is enough?

Please reply at [email protected]

Thanks,
Vijaya.

Visa rejected several times at Chennai consulate
My mom started applying for her visitor visa since Dec 1998, Jan 1999 and mailed the application in feb 99. She is 44 then. I mentioned delivery at that time. 2 years later,May 2001, I sent papers to both my parents. They gave 214(b) again. Again I sent the papers in May 2003. They gave 214(b) just asking my dads employment details and his qualifications. My father is working at BDL he still have 4/5 years of service. Consular asked what do they do in BDL?( which manufacturers of missiles). I am worried whether they will visa or not at all.
            Now they are going to apply again this month. any suggestions are appreciated.
