Hi,
I would like to thank immihelp for all the information and help we got to get our parents their visa...
Their background...
visa rejected twice in last 5 years and this time when they applied both daughters are in USA!!
They self sponsored and both of us sisters sent I-134 and all the related docs also...
We also sent them 50 questions someone else had posted here and modified to our background....
My parents memorized all the answers so they could answer confidently.
They appeared at mumbai consulate on Sept 14 - by 12:30 they were called in
Last two times my parents had used gujarati translator but this time they were going to try english...(my dad is good in english and he was going to translate for my mom)
My Dad thinks that not using a translator really helped because the essense of the answer is not lost with translating... So if you can speak and understand english even little bit you can try the interview in english..!!
