Doubt on length of stay question when asked in visa interview

[ankit2056.vit]

I am in US on h1b visa for 3.5 years. I am planning to apply tourist visa for my father mother and sister.

My father(businessman) and mother(homemaker) are around 58 years old
My sister is 27 years old single working as Legal compliance officer(C.S.) in a company.

I filled Length of stay - 3 months in DS160 form.
I heard lesser the length of stay (months) , more chances to get B2 visa.
Please advise if they can say 2 months during visa interview , if "How long?" question is asked by VO

Are you married?
If i were an vo, i might think how your sister can afford to take 3 months holidays while she is working for a company. Also she is unmarried. Your case becomes weak.
3months or 1 year for your parents doesn't matter. Nothing to lie or hide. Be genuine.

Keep your sister employment paper along with leave sanction letter from her present company ready.
Also your sponor letter to your family and also your fathers financial papers if its supports well.

All the best..

Your marital status has nothing to do with your family visa. So ignore that.

Your DS160 & your answer to interview questions should match.

Generally its not a problem saying 3 months for parents - but since your sister is also applying you should have mentioned lesser length of stay.

Best of luck to all of them !!
