B1/B2 for minor son

[Almie]

Good day! Me and my husband got a ten year multiple entry US visa on June 2, 2012. We were supposed to travel last August but decided to postpone it because our 5 year old son will be left behind. ( It is our regret that we have not included him in our application last June.) Anyway, we are already waiting for his interview schedule that is on Oct. 19, 2012. What is the chance of having my son's application approved? Is it necessary that both of us his parents will go with him to the US Embassy for the interview? Hope you could enlighten me. Thank you very much!

Nobody can tell you what your chances are. On one side, both your husband and you have been granted a 10-year, multiple entry visa - that is good. On the other side, NOT applying for a visa for your son *may* have helped you to get that visa - nobody would leave a child behind. So, it may be positive or negative. Guess you'll find out a month from now.

For the 2nd question - that information can be found on the web site for the US Embassy @ New Delhi. Please try and help yourself.

Thank you very much for the information. Yeah, I guess it's all up to the consular officer's hands. Let's just hope and pray that he/she would pity my son who would be left behind with only his nanny with him and my 82 year old mom in law. Thanks to immihelp! It helped me a lot in the success of securing our tourist visa!
