[Samarth Save]

At that time the situation was as follows,
> I was on OPT
> My dad was retired and mom was working
> They have never travelled out side India
> I am the only Son.
> My dad had property worth 2 crore rupies and a house
> They sponsored them selves

Interview went like this (it was in Marathi),
VO: Good Morning!
Parents: Good morning!
VO: Why are you going to US?
Dad: For tourism purposes and visit my son
VO: What does your son do?
Dad: He is working as a Soft. Engg. in XYZ Company.
VO: How many children?
Dad: One.
VO: Have you travelled out side india before?
Dad: No
VO: Sorry we can not issue you visa at this time. reason 214(b)

So we are trying to apply again and their interview is on Dec 2, 2014,

Here is the current situation,

> I am on H1b
> I am married and my wife is here with me on H4
> Both my parents are retired now
> My dad travelled to Dubai last year
> I am sponsoring them
> Bank balanced for both of them are much more than before
> My dad has property worth 2 crore rupies and a house

Can anyone suggest me how to prepare them for the interview and is the current situation better than before?

Great News Guys!

My Parents got the visa in second attempt.

Here is how it went,

Their interview was scheduled at Mumbai Consulate @ 8 AM Dec 4 2014. They reached their early and allowed to go inside at 7:30AM. The interview was in Marathi.

Interview questions were as follows,

VO: Good Morning!
Parents: Good Morning!
VO: So your son is sponsoring you?
Dad: Yes
VO: What does he do?
Dad: Told.
VO: Where does he work?
Dad: Told.
VO: Do you have any other son in India?
Dad: No.
VO: Daughter?
Dad: No. But I have my brothers and sisters here.
VO: Congratulations! your visa has been approved.

Thats it. they dint ask about the previous attempt, no financial stuff was asked, nothing asked about the stay and travel arrangements.

Hope this helps! Thanks for all the writers of this community.
