B1/B2 Experience - Parents - Karachi
First of all many thanks to 'immihelp' members, its been a great source of help preparing for interview.
My parents have had their interview at Karachi Consulate yesterday 8th Feb. VO only asked following questions to my dad & didn't utter a word to my mom. (VO spoke with them in Urdu language through out)
VO: Who's this lady with you?
Ans: My wife
VO: Passports please!
Ans: Provided
VO: I see you have put the address of Baluchistan, where do you actually live? (That was perhaps to trick my dad to see if he fumbles)
Ans: Baluchistan address is my work place address, I live in xyz area in Karachi.
VO: Why do you want to go to USA?
Ans: To meet my relatives and tourism purpose. (Here my dad added further which kinda endorsed his case) We are already going to Canada to visit our son & this will be a good opportunity for us to visit our relatives in USA as travelling to US is easier from Canada.
VO: Do you have visa for Canada?
Ans: Yes. (VO checked the passport for visa page)
VO: What does your son do in Canada?
Ans: He works as xyz in abc company
VO: How many children you have?
Ans: x children in Khi,Pak and x in Canada.
VO: What profession you are/were into?
Ans: I have worked as XYZ in different positions in cement industry. My recent contract was with ABC company which got over last month. Right now I'm not employed anywhere.
VO: Are you looking to work since your last contract is over?
Ans: No, I'hv taken a break this year as I am going to visit my son this summers so I'd give time to family before I start working again.
VO: Okay, your visa is approved (Thank God for these golden words) you may receive your passports in a couple days.
The key is to remain truthful, confident and keep it simple.

He has paid the visa fees and filled the online form. Waiting for his interview feb 21. But something came up. He recall Sometimes in 2003 his late uncle brought a lady from u.s and they did court registry. Along the line the visa wasn’t issued and no biometric then. He has actually forget that incident existed and couldn’t even remember what really transpired then. He has travelled to 7 schegen countries, and others. All he could recall was, the passport name then was okaka Alexander. But he has since been using another biometric passport which is okaka Alex Omo and the date of birth change too frm 04/06/1979 then to his real age 04/06/1974 .

B2 Visa - Approved(1st attempt)
I would like to share my experience. First of all I thank immhelp, its really a good site where you can go through the experience's of the other people.
Some tips:
Be confident, Be honest, Be on time. Don't hide any thing. It's also important that you must fill DS-160 by yourself so you don't have to remember anything. Even though you have done some mistakes in form which you notice later, don't get panic you can submit new application again. Just replace the old application with new application in your profile. Also when you submit form don't forget to click on Print application button, because this will help you to get your personal copy which you can keep it with you for your reference(may be you can find some mistakes in your application). be prepared.
My profile: Female, Single, 29 years old. Good travel history(7 countries), Good Salary.
My interview Experience:
