Recently i got schengen visa from switzerland with my wife and daughter around 4 years! For 3 months with multiple entry with 15 days stay and visa starts from agust 12 2013. Now interested in visiting usa in one go!

Here is my case history!.. We are into food business! From last 20 years .

In 2008 dec. I got married and in 2009 march me and wife travelled to united kingdom(england) and dubai together
in 2010 i applied (alone) for usa business visa to visit food expo exhibition but it was refused .

But in form i too mentioned that my aunt too lives there in usa and i mentioned address too and after that in 2011 i applied for australia and newzland which i got single entry with my familyr but due to personal reasons i travelled alone to australia and newzlnd! And now we applied for switz visa n we have multi entry! This time we wana travel together! My parents has travelled usa in 2011 as a visitor visa! Sponsorship by my aunt!

As my income for last year was 6.5 lakhs!
Now my query is this -- as we are holding schengen visa , shall we proceed with usa holidays too!

:how to apply and convince visa officer as we are a genuine travel and i know he/she will asks me refused case too and may be visa officer can ask for my alone visit to australia and newzland!

:can anyone guide me how to put a application regarding tourist visa!
:shall i book a small tour or hotel booking in las vegas! Or any other suggestion!
:to book a small tour and mentioning staying for some days with my aunt(massi) with her family!
:how visa officer evaluate my history
:does they count 6.5 lakh income a good income for a tour of 5 days in switz n 7/15 days in usa!
:wife income is around 4.5 lakh per year!
:if visa officer wana approve what will be the convincing part of my case!
:what visa officer will think of not to issue visa!
:shall i mentioned sponsorship too from my aunt.

Can anyone here let me explain this all! How visa officer will be convinced and what will be her questions for my case!
How to make chances more bright for visa interview! How shall i proceed!
Any guidance ! & if anyone got tourist visa pls metion here the particulars too.
Thanks!

See, the major problem in your case is your income . Other than that it is all ok.
6.5 L /yr income is not great. COmbined income of both of you is 11 L/yr but sometimes they decide on the husband's income only.

And sponsorship by aunt is not a good idea.
You can show the purpose as visiting her and get an invitation from her but NOT funding papers.

I suggest you go ahead with the swiss trip and wait for the US application till you have at least 10L/yr income.
In the current situation, the chances could be 50-50. It is your decision.

see, you are an adult married person .Showing funding by your parents is not good.

THey ask about income not just for funding but also see it as your financial tie to India. The stronger your personal income
the better the chances . And you can't just say 11 lacs, they will want to see your IT returns or some other proof.

Even if you show package, they will still ask your income.

I still suggest you wait till you can show proof of 1 L/mo income or 10-12 lacs per year.
