Parents' visitor visa - Need tips

[kankri99]

My parents will be re-appearing for tourist visa interview next month (mar 2006). Their visa was rejected in oct 2005. They visited US in 1997 and returned in 6 months without any visa extensions. A couple of questions:

- for oct 2005 interview, in affidavit of support, I mentioned that my spouse is also working [partially dependent]. Would that have caused visa rejection? (Maybe the CO thought that they are coming here for baby-sitting?) What should I write in my new affidavit of support?

- do I really have to send in my original birth certificate for the interview?

- any other tips would be appreciated..

thanks

1. I don't think so.
Just write the truth in the affidavit of support.

2. Yes.

My Parents Got Visa

Yesterday my parents had visa interview and got their visa [don't know the details yet; the passports would be returned by courier].

The officer didn't just asked the following:
- was your visa rejected last time?
- who is in US; how many sons do you have; are they married?
- are you working?
- how much pension are you receiving?
- ok you can pay the fees in the counter.

She never cared to see any of the documents I sent
