my parents got the visa...

[gsoumya]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share the good news that my parents got the visa today (11-16-05) at the Chennai consulate. They said the interview process didn't last more than 2 mts.

The only questions that were asked during interview are,

1) Who is Sponsoring the Visit? (Our Daughter)

2) Did your Daughter study in US?(Yes, YYYY X university, xxxxx place)

3) Why do you want to stay only for 3 months?(I am govt employee in xxx and leave is sanctioned only for 3 months...)

when they tried showing the NOC, grant of leave...he said no need of any documents sir, go and pay the fees and enjoy your trip....

Without this forum, it would have been very tough for me to prepare them. Thanks All!!!

I am so delighted that they got the visa. Thank you Immihelp!!!

Cheers,
Soumya

Thanks!

All,
Thanks Immihelp and Sunnyram!
I heard from my parents that most of the interviews went on pretty smooth, except for very few (20mts for one couple who got interviewed from the lady with burkha- but finally got the visa).

Just FYI, please do make sure to take the DD's according to the new fees Rs.4600 (from Nov16th on and after) as it has been a problem for some people(students and parents) there who had to spend Rs.500 extra to get Rs.200 Draft from a named bank immediately.

Prepare your parents well and everything should be ok. I mock interviewed them daily for abt 30mts for a week with all the possible questions that may be asked according to my situation.

Hope this helps and All the Best for everybody!!!
