Suggestions please ????
Hi guys,
I have my interview for Thursday 22nd
 This is my circumstance

I am a non working student reading XYZ in my final year hoping to complete in June 2017.
My biological father is sponsoring my trip

My half sister is a US citizen and had her wedding in June 2016
but I was unable to attend alongside my other siblings because I had school work. And now that I have a break, she has sent me an
invitation to spend the Christmas and new year with her at her new matrimonial home.

I intend spending 20 days

Also I stated in my ds160 that I intend traveling on the 20th only to get my
interview date for 22nd (is this going to cause my Visa to be refused?)

I still have a valid Uk visa that expires in Ferbuary and I have travelled to the UK twice this year and once to Nigeria in 2015.

What are my chances and likely questions to be asked during the interview ?
 How do you suggest I phrase my purpose of travel ?

Applying for B2 Visa (Tourist)
I have decided to visit the US as a tourist next summer. I've asked this from different people they said i don't need to be employed to get US visa, but i am still not satisfied, thus i would like to be really sure before i apply for the visa. I have children here in europe Ireland, i will be getting married to mother of my children in a month's time. I am currently unemployed, but i am a 'Family Carer' because i have kids with disability so the government is paying me for caring for my kids with disability, and so i am not allowed to work full time. My partner is also a Family Carer as we are caring for our kids together, so same applies to her. Also i just finished a part time course and hoping to start another course part time. I have residency right here, my children were born here, my partner has residency here too, so we all reside here legally. I have been to England twice as a tourist and i have proof copy of my previous visas. My late dad was a US green card holder, my dad's second wife is currently US green card holder along with her 4 children, but i have no idea where they live in US, we don't communicate for years. Will i still declare i have relative in US? I'm gonna stay in a hotel during my visit in US so i will not visit any relative. Do i stand any chance of getting US B2 visa to travel as a tourist? I have bank statement that can show proof of all my income support from the government for both weekly and monthly payments, also from my partner. What can i work on to make my application stronger? thanks.

B2 Visa preparation - Thoughts / Suggestion?
Below is my mom's profile.
1. Employed as a government school teacher
2. Self sponsor
3. I have given all the required documents
4. Dad is also working in India
5. I have a sister who is finished here engg and started to work in India

Reason for visit: Spend her vacation time with me & my family and to tour various places

Does her case look strong with homeland ties?

Also, while filling her DS-160, we filled her Primary occupation as "Education" instead of "Government" and we have also mentioned the subjects that she teaches **Will this be an issue?

Change to DS-160 after scheduling B2 visa appointment
My mom has her B2 visa interview scheduled on 12/14. Just now realized that we have an error in her DS-160. She is a government school teacher but we have selected Primary occupation as “Education” instead of “Government”.

Is it possible to create a new DS-160 and update the visa appointment confirmation? or should we cancel and schedule a new appointment?

Will this affect her chances of getting her visa?

I also read somewhere that teachers shouldn’t mention the subjects they teach. My mom is a Math, English teacher and the same has been mentioned in her DS-160. Should this also be changed?
