Thanks to all the members of the forum.
My parents got their visitor visa on Apr 2 , 2007 from the mumbai consulate
Their appointment was at 10 am .
The VO asked them the following questions.
(They were not asked to show any papers except the DS156 and DS157 and one other thing was that the visa issuance fee is waived so you do not have to pay anything after the visa is issued*)
*Please find out from your local consulate about these fees. This is true in our case only for the Mumbai consulate
Why do you want to go to the US?
How long do u want to visit?
Who is in the US?
How long has he been there?
What visa did he go on?
What visa is he on NOW?
Which university did he attend?
What is the name of his employer?
Do you work
(To Mother) Do you work ?
I see that you have a sister in the US. How long has she been there?
Then why did u not visit her in all these years?
("We could not afford it at that time" was all that my mother answered and the VO accepted it)
So now you want to go and visit your son. Great . Have a good vacation.
I had prepared a list of questions and answers for my parents (posted by other members on the forum)
I am posting them here .
