Parents tourist visa (B2) approved - New Delhi

[hy2934]

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share my parents experience for B2 visa interview at US Embassy in New Delhi.

Situation: My dad retired from government job last November and mom is a housewife. I have 4 sisters (all in India, working). I am a green card holder in USA. Parents put "Self" in the question regarding who will sponsor their trip.

Visa Interview:

Q) Why do you want to go?

A) Tourism and to meet son

Q) What does he do?

A) Works as xx engineer in xx company in xx city

Q) What do you do?

A) Retired from XX department

Then he did something on his computer and said "Congrats! Your visa is approved"

Docs carried by parents: passports, visa appointment letter, DS 160 confirmation page, bank statement, property proof

Docs sent by me (but weren't looked at): invitation letter, copy of passport and green card, employment verification letter

I hope this post will help other people or might ease someone's concerns if any.

Thanks,

just a quick question. any idea how long does it take to get the passports back (we signed up for a pickup) given that no 221g was given?

thanks.

My parents got their passports yesterday with 10 year multiple entry visa.

In New Delhi, do they have a facility to store mobile phones? Until last year (Dec 2011), they had this facility to collect mobile phones outside the embassy (at the entrance). How about the same thing at the OFC (Negru place)?
