Successful B-2 Visa at Mumbai Consulate

[db362]

Just wanted to share the visa experience at Mumbai Consulate on 8th July 2013

 

This was a visitor/tourist B-2 visa interview for my younger sister.

 

Interview Qs:

- Why are you going to US?

---- To visit my elder brother, sis-in-law and 1 yr old nephew.

 

- What does he do?

---- He works in xyz company as abc.

 

- What visa is he on?

----- H-1B

 

- What do you do?

---- I work in xyz company as abc

 

- What is the kind of work your company does? 

---- we work in xyz areas...etc etc

 

- Why are you traveling now?

--- We've been planning for a while but because of work and other requirements I couldn't travel earlier.  It is slightly better now so we finally decided to make travel plans.

 

Okay, your visa is approved.

 

<< No documents asked, total interview time ~2 mins>>>>

 

 

Basically, I think a candidate has to prove two points convincingly.

1) Not a potential immigrant to US

2) Not going to work illegally in the US

 

 

Hope this helps.
