My sister was refused visitor visa
My sister needs medical treatment and we applied for visitor visa for her so she can come here and undergo surgery. She is 36 and propertied in India and has a family with a 9 yr ole son. We applied only for her. Immigration officer cited the reason she was too young and could stay back in US if visa was given. Her appointment here at Stanford is on 15th Feb.
Suggestions are welcome to get her here.

My parents got 10yrs multiple
entry on Jan 28 @ Chennai consulate. One hurdle in my parents case was the spelling of my fathers middle name. All my certificates were having my fathers middle name different than what he has in his passport. My dad got a notarized letter from an attorney in India on a 20 rupees stamp paper which mentioned the observation and the letter says that he can be identified by both the names which worked with the consulate guys. I have observed in the immihelp experiences section sometime back that one of the application got rejected due to the typo in the name. Maybe a notarized application from can help them resolve the issue.

Parents got 10 year visitor's visa
Thanks to this website and all those of you, who have shared their experiences, my parents have got a 10year visa.
My parents submitted their documents at Pune. After duly scrutinizing the documents, it was suggested that it is advisable to keep 2 copies of NOTARIZED I-797 (Notice of Action) and I-94 (DepartureCard), one each for parent. But the application was accepted and my parents got the visa interview date as desired. Since my parents wanted visa date only after 2 weeks (due to other commitments), I was able to send them the relavent docments.
At the USConsulate in Mumbai, the lady who interviewed them was American, but she also spoke Hindi.
My I-797 & Visa is expring in June 2004. She asked my parents, if I am aware of it. My parents told them that I am aware of it and am planning to renew it. She then said, what if it is not renewed. My father said that I would come back and that we would abide by the law.
My father has retired from a high post and is earning good pension. He was asked if he could afford going to US independently, without me sponsoring him. For which he said NO as it is very expensive and doesn't want to go on his own.
The interviewer then ASSERTED my mother and said "your daughter-in-law is pregnant". My mother said no to that and told her that they are planing to come to US only to me us & meet the friendly americans and see the culture.
She also asked them why they have not come to US in the last 5years (i have been in US for 5years). My parents told her that they had other responsibilites and my marriage.
My parents told me that she was impressed by looking at the letter from my employer. She said great and raised her eye-brows. I don't know why. The format was as giving in this website.
Apart from these questions, they were asked several questions listed by other members of this forum. In all they asked about 10-15questions within a span of 5mins.
Thanks to everybody who have shared their experience and best wishes to all!!!

In-laws got 10 years visitor visa
My in-laws got their visa from Chennai Consulate in Jan 1st week. I prepared all the documents as per this web site. And even I prepared some set of question and answers which they might ask. This site is simply VERY VERY great help. Before their interview last 3 days we used to call them and go over with them the whole process and Q & A. It's like preparing for an exam after a gap of 35 years for them :). Finally the day came they entered consulate. First they verified all documents and asked to wait for the officer to call. After couple of minutes the officer called them and looked all documents and asked only 2 questions. (1) Who is there in US? (2) How long your daughter is there? And then he said he is giving visa them and asked them to pay the fee at next counter. Luckily my in-laws got 10 years multiple entry visas. My in-laws told me that, on that day they are giving most of them visa’s. The whole process took less than 1 hour. It seems to be now days they are little bit liberal on visas. So guys it is good time to apply. All the best and good luck to you all!

Once again many many thanks to this website for helping my in-laws to get visa.

Happy Ending.
Thanks a lot to Immihelp.com, my parents got a 10 year Multiple entry visa at Chennai Consulate on 29th January.It was their first time applying for a visa.
We put in a lot of effort and made sure that the documents were all there, besides I prepared my parents well in advance to answer any kind of question that the officer may ask.
The key of course is confidence and spontaniety, I guess. They were asked about 7-8 questions regarding their income, duration of stay and their purpose. My husband and I are Greencard holders and my husband had already given Affidavits of Support earlier at 2 diiferent occassions.The only documents the officer saw were the copies of our Greencards , the applications and the affidavit of support. Rest of documents were not even glanced at.After asking a few other questions like my age, whether I have children or not,the officer asked them to pay the fee at the counter.The entire process took less than an hour.They had the appointment at 8:15 AM, they were out of the consulate by 9:10 AM.Definitely, this is a much better procedure than the one earlier, when I remember long lines of people waiting outside the consulate gates for 6-7 hours,braving the fumes and reckless driving on Anna Salai.

Finally the courier landed up around 10 AM the following day and by God's grace they got a 10 year visa. Happy Ending and Thank you Immihelp.com.
