Parents visa approved while mine was rejected; B2 visa; hyderabad consulate
Hi all,
I gave my interview for B2 visitor visa today along with my parents at the Hyderabad consulate. My dad is retired and my mom is still working. Mine was rejected quoting 214(b) while both my parents’ visas were approved. I would like to apply again and would really appreciate any thoughts on what the reasons could have been for my rejection, so that I can improve on that.
Here is my profile:
I’m a technology specialist working in xxx company. It’s a agriculture company. In my DS 160, I said I would fund my visit myself. I thought this would be better as I’m working here. My parents DS 160s said my elder sister will fund their trip. My dad is a retiree and my mom is a government employee. My elder sister is working on H1b visa in an American technology company in the US. My younger brother is on his F1 visa, also in US.
VO: Good morning.
Us: Good morning.
VO: What is the purpose of your visit?
Dad and I: tourism
Dad: We want to see the place.
VO: Who is there in the US?
My dad: My daughter...(he was about to continue saying about my brother who is on F1 visa but he didn’t get a chance because the VO immediately asked for my sister’s visa copy)
We give my sister’s H1b visa’s copy.
VO: (looking at me) where do you work?
Me: xxx company
VO: what is your designation.?
Me: I work as a technology specialist.
VO: (to me) what is your annual income?
Me: it’s 7.6 lakhs per annum
VO: (to us) how long are you planning to stay?
Dad: (indicating mom and himself) we are planning to stay for a month. I was going to say about myself when the VO quickly asked.
VO: what about you? (to me)
Me: I’m planning to stay for 2 weeks because I don’t have much vacation and I have to return for my work.
VO: (to us) Is this your first time to the US?
Dad: Yes this is our first time.
VO: (to us) Have you been to other countries?
Dad: This is the first time for us.
VO: (to me) What about you? Which countries have you traveled?
Me: I have to the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. (I have a 5 years Schengen Visa)
VO: (to me) What was the purpose of your trip?
Me: It was an official trip.
VO: (to me) Did you travel to Belgium while you were in the Netherlands?
Me: Yes.
VO: (to me) As a tourist?
Me: Yes, as a tourist.
My parents visas were approved while mine was rejected with a 214(b). Please share any thoughts as what could be the reason.
We are at a loss as what could be the reason... The VO didn’t ask for any document other than my sister’s visa.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Documents needed for govt employees
Hello,
I am studying in F1 visa and I want my family to attend my graduation ceremony this summer. My mother has a visa interview in next 2 weeks and she is a government employee. Is NOC mandatory for the visa interview process? There seems to be a delay in the department to process the document that's why I am confused. Please help.
Thanks

I told the interviewer that I will be accompanied by my parents, Can I travel alone after my visa is approved?
Am I allowed to make changes to my itinerary? Will I be denied at the port of entry?

B2 Visa rejection, Hyderabad
I went for my tourist visa interview along with my parents. My parent's visa was approved but mine was rejected. I made a silly mistake at the interview. The VO asked if I have any immigration plans. I assumed the question is something else and I answered yes, after my visa is approval. I made a big mistake by not assuming what the VO is asking and not clarifying it.
I have strong ties to India. I have a full- time job at Microsoft, I have my parents in India, my financial standing is good and have full intention of coming back. My purpose of visit is to meet my sister who lives in US and tourism.
I have read online that one should re- apply after ones condition change drastically. In my case, when should I re- apply?

Visitor B2 Visa Approved
My mothers B2 visa was rejected the first time. She is widowed and I'm her only son. She didn't have any job or pension to speak of. I was quite disheartened when it was rejected and saw many cases of visa being denied due to weak ties. Upon searching many online forums, I came to know of VisaVikings.
Although reluctant at first, I dropped them an email. They were quick to respond and assisted me with all queries I had. Despite me being in the US and almost all communications being over email, everything went smooth. They also has set up several mock interviews and questionnaire set up for her which helped immensely. I was very relieved when I heard the news that she had got the visa.
My advice to the first timers would be to take their help from the start.
Kudos to the team. Here is their contact. http://www.visavikings.in/

Tips on Visa Interview/Questions about Visas
Hello everyone,
I am a natural born citizen of the United States and I have a boyfriend who lives in Egypt. He is not a USA citizen nor has he been anywhere outside of Egypt. I would really love for him to be able to come visit me in the States, but I am just not sure how the Visa process works, and I want to provide him with adequate advice that could potentially allow him to get a Visa.
My first question is, which USA Visa has the best success rate? i.e Visitor Visa, Student Visa, etc. He would love to study abroad in the US, but his first priority it to see me.
My second question is, what are some focal points that he will need to take into consideration prior to the interview? He has not yet completed the application, so he is still very early in the process.
I have read many posts on here and it seems that the process for Visa denial/rejection is quite random. My boyfriend speaks great English, so I do not think that language will be an issue. He can also read and write in English. He is currently a student in Egypt working towards a Bachelor's degree, or its Egyptian equivalent. He is currently unemployed. From what I have researched, making sure you convince the consulate officer that you have a good reason to return to your home country is of great importance. He is 20 years old, so he still has a family that he would never want to leave behind, and he is very involved in his studies and would like to receive his degree from his college in Egypt. Will that be enough to convince the officer?
One other thing I thought of, would it be beneficial if I sponsored his visit?
Any other information that you might have would be very helpful as well if you are unable to answer the questions or you have other things you would like to add.
