  • Hey! My Parents got 10 yrs M visa on first attempt

    Hi All,
    First of all i would like to thank all the immihelp members for the good advices.My husband sponsored for my parents.My Parents attended the interview on 25th sep at chennai consulate in telugu lang at 8.45 A.M. Father (retired) and Mother(house wife).

    They have taken 3 folders with them
    1. one folder with DS-156,DS-157,Appointment letter,HDFC receipt,passports photographs.
    2.one folder labelled VISITOR DOCUMENT FILE containing
    All originals of Cover letter,CA statement,House docs,pension paper,Bank verification letter,Bank statements(6 months),passbook,Tax returns,bonds,
    FD's ,My Elder brother's copies of taxreturns,visiting card,and ID card from Satyam Computers who stays in INDIA,My younger brother Greencard copy who stay in US,and the family photographs.

      Hi kavitha76,
      Congratulations. But make sure that they return within 180 days when they visit USA. VO has clearly stated this to your parents as he felt they may be immigrant candidates in future.

              Congrats Kavitha!

              I need to take visa interview appointments for my parents.
              My dad is fluent in English but mom does not know enough English to respond in English.

              I m trying to get appointments in Hindi language. But they are not available rite now. And dont know when they will be.

              Will it be a good idea to book for English language? My dad can answer his questions and translate my mom's too. Will this cause any issue during the interview?

              Any help is appreciated.

              Thanks
              -Smita
