Interview for Parents and Sisters: Together? Separate??

[theanshul]

Hi All,

I am planning to schedule interviews for my parents and 2 working sisters. They would be applying for B2 and I am sponsoring it.

My status: on H1b for 3 year.. wife on H4.

Can you please suggest as to whether I should try to schedule the interview for all of them together or separately (one for my parents and one for sisters)?

Please advise.

If they want to travel together , the US embassy requires them to apply together.

Whether they will all be granted visas, is a different matter , dependent on your parents' family situation. Your sisters being young and single( I assume) , may be denied.
In the officer's mind, that will also ensure your parents' return home.

Please look at the page " applying for a non-immigrant visa' on the US embassy New Delhi
website. On the right hand side there is a statement in a block saying,
" Families should apply together even if travelling separately".
