me: 1 year

VO: have you visited outside Pakistan?
me: Yes

VO: where?
me: i told them all (in general not just within 5 years but over the last 15 years.)

VO: then he asked for my higher Education?
me: currently enrolled in ICMAP stage 4

then he was doing something on his computer and then with the brightest smile on his face he handed over me my passport with apologies and to try next time.

Now my question is where did i go wrong? he dint even ask for my any document, not a single like my bank statement or employment certificate?
i applied alone though.
should i apply with my mom next time so that being single and my age doesn't become any issue?

Approved Visa from Karachi - Pakistan
My sister, husband and 2 kids applied for visit visa for USA from Karachi and were approved.
They had previously travelled to Malaysia and Singapore.
Their US visit visa was refused last year due to insufficient travel history.
VO: Asked about her job, her husband's job, job responsibilities, husband's education, purpose of travel, parents and parent -in-laws details as to where they live etc.
VO also asked from kids where they were studying, which countries they visited etc.
VO did take some time to lookup our parents information as they are in Canada.
At the end, golden words "You are approved" came and he kept the passports.

B2 visa refused under 214B for mother-in-law and reapplying
Hi,

Requesting your help and greatly appreciated.

My mother-in-law B2 visa was refused under 214B for the first time applied in July 2017. I have sponsored her visa and opted for Telugu language. Interview as follows

VO: How many kids you have?
MIL: One son and one daughter

VO: Who is there in USA?
MIL: My daughter and my son-in-law

VO: Do they have kids?
MIL: Yes, one son and 3 years old.

VO: Where are you going?
MIL: New Jersey

VO: How are you traveling?
MIL: My son-in-law is coming India and will travel with him.

He looked at computer for a min.
VO: We are not able to issue VISA, details are in this form(214B).

VO did not ask for any documents. We have sent all the documents with her.

Now, we are planning applying along with her son. Their situation

her Son: Working as Assistant Manager in one of the government Bank. No property, no own house, wife is home maker and preparing for bank exams (not applying VISA for her). Only few joint (along with mother) fixed and recurring deposits certificates.
MIL: Home maker, Widow (husband was School teacher died in 2008) and she is getting pension every month, No property, No own house. Only few joint (along with son) fixed and recurring deposits certificates.

Please clarify/provide your suggestions for the following,

1. Her son will get leave sanction letter and NOC from the bank and she will be visiting along with him. So, we are planning to send both of them for interview at the same time. Will this add as positive point to proof of strong tie as her son is visiting with her? or is it better to give separate interview for each?

2. There is no much change in her situation from the last time her visa was refused. Only change is, this time her son is affording their visit expenses. Is this a positive point? or should I sponsor both of them?

3. As we are not applying visa to her son's wife, will this be considered as negative or positive?

Many thanks in Advance!!

B2 Visa in Nepal
Hello Everyone,

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I am an American citizen currently living in Nepal. I have a Nepali girlfriend who I think could be the one. I would like her to visit my family in California this summer on a B2 visa. If things go well, we will apply for a Fiance Visa next Fall.

We are both employed in Nepal as teachers with two year contracts, and my roundtrip airfare for the summer is already booked. We plan to be in the US for 6 weeks and then return to Nepal to our jobs.

A few questions on the B2 visa process:

1. Will I be able to go to interview with her? If so, which documents are most important to show on my end?

2. How will they view our relationship? Is it better to cite our relationship as a reason for her to visit the US to meet my family or downplay our relationship lest they think we would pursue a marriage of convenience?

3. How important is her monthly income and experience at current job? For example, will she have a better chance if she has a higher income and more experience at her current job?

4. Overall, what are the major factors that shape their decision?

Thank you so much for your help everyone!!!

Hoping it works out,

VISITOR VISA
In 2016,when I wanted to visit US for my son's graduation ceremony,my visa was kept under administrative processing and was issued for a year.
Again I applied for a visitor visa on 22 january 2018 ie this year. My visa is under administrative processing till now. My worry is about the passport. Till 6th February 2018,the passport status was 'your passport is still in the consulate'. But on 6th February the status changed to 'there is no status record for this passport number'. My passport is still in the chennai consulate. E mails to them have not got any reply. I am worried.
