experience of B1 B2 Interview.
Hello all. I want to share the experience of B1 B2 Visa interview which was scheduled on today morning. I applied with two of my dependents (spouse and three year old baby) . I am facing from Obsessive Compulsive disorder so i my travel purpose was to join an event an international OCD Foundation, Boston. I keep hearing from people that it's all about luck etc but I didn't believe. But today my doubt has been cleared. I'm strange even VO asked us(Me and my Wife) Only two questions... first question was that Why are you going to USA and second question was do you have any known in USA..i replied both of the questions and then VO returned our passport by saying that sorry I can't give you visa. This was totally unexpected. Only in 15 seconds how he judged me.. I'm damn sad not because by not getting visa but because not even knowing the cause of rejection. Could anybody please tell mr where i did mistake? i had invitation letter from the Foundation..good bank balance but VO didn't demand for it . please tell me what should my future planning regarding B1 B2

Visa querry
My wife has a US visa which was issued for 10 years. This visa is expiring in Aug 2018. She couldn't visit US even once, however she visited UK twice and once to Russia (along with me). Now we feel it may not be possible for her to visit US till this US visa expires (that is till Aug 2018). My question is if she applies again after the visa expiry, will there be any issue as she has not utilised the visa given to her earlier and might face rejection? Please help.
Thanks

My visitor visa experience at US consulate Hyderabad.
Hello everybody,
I have been going through the forum for a long time now for guidance and tips to succeed in the visitor visa interview.
A brief synopsis about my background:
Manager in LIC
Two school going children
Wife bank employee
My mother stays with me
Visiting my sister-in-law who is terminally ill
First time, all four of us went and the vo asked asked a many questions. I had my bank statements and my wife had her own. The vo wanted proof that my children were indeed mine. I showed our ration card, aadhar cards. vo asked for US sponsor proof about her condition. We gave the letter only and not her medical history which we did not have.
We were refused 214b with letter. Two months later, my wife alone went for the interview as she was suggested on the forum. This time the interview was short and refused immediately with just 2 questions. why are travelling to the US? Why are you applying alone?
On her way out of the consulate, she spoke to some other visa applicants and she came to know that she was not alone in the reasonless refusals. She met an old lady who was refused 4 times who was travelling to see her daughter and grand children. This lady was elated as she got the visa on her 5th attempt and she spoke on phone to someone and thanked them and cried.
My wife having left clueless on her refusal asked this lady for help and she was given the contact details of this consultant called visa vikings. we approached them and they asked us to contact after 3 months which we did. They gave some instructions and looked in to all the documents and corrected the applications online. They gave us a date and time for the interview and asked me and my wife to go for the interview.
We were granted visa but with only one entry and one month which we honestly did not expect. The consultant told us that we can renew and get a multiple entry after our travel. I have come back and my wife is still in the US taking care of her sister with authorised extension of her visa. Anyone needing help like me can contact the consultant on 9949938272. I wish everyone all the best!

B2 Visa - Retired Father in Law - TAL employer
This is a B2 visa experience for my Father in Law (now retired) who used to work at Bhabha Atomic Research Center( BARC) - which i guess is falls into TAL category
Background:
Mother in Law (MIL) and Father in Law (FIL) had appeared for visa interview in April 2014 to attend the graduation ceremony of my husband (their son). MIL got a 10 year visa, but FIL got a 221 g as he used to work for BARC although in a non research capacity(he worked as a technician for A/c maintenance). We submitted the required documents ( resume/itinerary/invitation letter / research and publications/ job responsibilities / references of colleagues at BARC). He finally got his visa approved in Nov 2014 for only 1 year but couldn't go for the graduation ceremony. They had applied via agent and an incorrect email id was registered at their end and hence the administrative process was delayed by months. We got to know that folks with TAL background are not given 10 year visas and were a bit disappointed that my FIL who is 70+ will have to reapply again and again not to mention the hefty visa fee.
We applied again in May 2017 and filled the DS160 ourselves. Instead of typing Bhabha Atomic Research Center in the form, we entered just BARC. The reason for this was we thought that the system would highlight the words Atomic and Research and that was the reason he got a 221g last time. However we mentioned complete details and his nature of work in the resume.
He gave his interview on 14 July and was just asked straight forward questions on where he was going, where his son work, what was his nature of work at his previous company.
We were prepared for another 221g and had all documents updated and ready which the officer had asked to submit last time. We were also thinking that this time too he will get a 1 year visa as that is the norm with TAL.
He did not get any 221g and his visa was approved, that too for 10 YEARS.
Docs he was carrying:
Son's documents
1. passport copy
2. visa copy
3. I797
4. 3 months pay stubs
5. 3 months bank statements
6. Letter of employment
7. copy of birth certificate
FIL's documents
1. Pension book
2. Invitation letter / Sponsorship letter from son
3. Resume
4. Itinerary
5. i- card from employer mentioning retired
We had trained him on some basic questions and how to answer questions in short without unnecessary details or explanations.
If anyone has any questions about his visa experience, I can answer in the comments below
