JoeF Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 This is so obviously bogus. 15 days and you want to visit all these places? And on top of that the agent "mistakes"... What do you really want to do? Quote Link to comment
Provence Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 LOL, 15 days to visit all those cities? You run an investment advisory firm and claim an MBA, yet use an ethics-challenged agent to fill out the application? Sure, you can apply if you want to donate 35k rupees again. Any different answers the next time around will only raise further suspicions. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Basically the US Embassy warns about using touts/agents. They are very hazardous to your visa issuance. Visiting your sister is a good enough reason with no justification. They may take you anywhere. You can ABSOLUTELY get a visa for a group tour run by many Reputed Companies. Quote Link to comment

GcLLC Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Wait, Annual income: 12 Lakhs? After 15+ years in the investment management business? Ok. Something is amiss here. There are two possibilities. First, if you are an employee, then the annual income is too low for your experience and hence a red flag. Second: You are a partner and hence the salary is just a nominal salary. In that case, you have to document your Annual Gross Income including Bonus, Dividends etc. In the second case you have a possible answer to "what changed": You misunderstood that the VO was referring to Annual Gross Income; you just quoted your salary. If that is the case you have a genuine case and should consult a US immigration attorney who has a presence in India. Quote Link to comment
