My parents got the visitor visa to the US at the Mumbai COnsulate..My mom answered all the questions the CO asked as I was confidant on my moms answers rather than my Dad and It worked....Since my Mom started talking ...they kept asking her all the questions....My parents are visiting London first and then coming to US... ..Possible it was a plus point...and they had already got the london visa stamped last month....
So thanks to immihelp...I prepared my parents based on this site...

Congrates and a quick Question

Did they sent all the papers to Visa center before the interview date? (including original documents?)

[prem]

yes they submitted all the documents 3 weeks before the interview at the VFS office Mumbai...which included the originial passport , copy of paspport photograph,appt letter., dd of 2300/- rs., cheklist ...my parents had to carry only the supporting documents for the interview..

Thanks Prem, Does it included original birth certificate? (yours or your spouse birth certificate) So it safe to submit the originals other than application, DD to VFS before the interview?
And they will return all the original after the interview?

[prem]

oh dont worry, apart from the passport no originial documents were taken as far as I remember..they just took a look at he birht certificate.....
