Parent with daughter moving to US for studies

[parent9045]

Dear all,
My daughter got admission in university in California state. We live in India and my daughter never travelled alone. So I would like to accompany her to enroll in university.
What is the best way for me to apply for visa - do i need to approach university or apply as tourist.
Thank you in advance

you will ve to apply as tourist. But you may want to ans officer with a reason that you want to visit USA, instead of saying that u r going to help ur daughter settle. It's weird for them that such a grown up girl will need her mom .
