My mother is a professor in a college and my father is retired. They are both above 55 years of age. My sister and I are in US. I am on H1B and my sister is on F1. We are both married. I sponsored them.
Interview:
VO: Good Morning! How are you?
Parents: Good Morning! We are fine? How are you?
VO to mom: Which college do you teach at? What subject do you teach?
Mom: ZZZ
VO: How many children do you have?
Mom: Two and both are in US. (I had asked them to mention voluntarily that me and my sister are both of in US and I had mentioned in my invitation letter too that “ I would like to invite you both to visit me and sister”)
VO: Wow!
VO to father: Where did you work before you retired?
Dad: In YYYY as YYYY manager.
VO: Where would you stay in US?
Dad: At my elder daughter’s residence.
VO: Wouldn’t you stay at your younger daughter’s place?
Dad: Yes we are going to visit her. She will also come and stay at my elder daughter’s place. We would visit different places together. (We kind of anticipated this question because in the letter to consulate I had mentioned that they will stay with me, whereas the invitation letter mentioned that they will visit both me and my sister but I did not see a better way of making it clear that both my sister and I am here is US)

Dad: Three months.
