Indian Visitor Visa: Experiences

[Bani 0]

Hello Everyone,

My husband and I are applying for my mother-in-law's visitor visa this summer. We both are US Citizens. She is a government school teacher so the best option for her to visit us is in summer when schools are out. She still has 5+ years left for her retirement so her over staying here is not an option. We saw the application is online and the rest of the process is seems very easy. So our only questions are

1. What do the consulate officer asks during the interview?

2. What things the consulate officer sees more importantly when issuing the visa?

Please share your experiences of your parents/relatives when gone for visitor visas...What they thought that if they kept in mind before would have changed the results or anything they want to suggest to new applicants...

Thank You for your kind help..

First you must understand you have nothing to do with her application. She applies. She supplies the required info. Then she interviews.

The most serious & difficult aspect of the process is complying with the strongest ties rule. When do that she must understand that they view all people with any visa as intending immigrants.

She must prove beyond a doubt that she must return to India. In her case she just may be able to do it. Her age, job & retirement situation will play a huge role.

Other peoples methods wont have anything to do with hers. These cases are always unique. In general its difficult to get a tourist visa from India for most people.

Hello, the application process may seem easy, but could be difficult too. I applied for my in-laws to come see our wedding here in the U.S.A. since my husband came here on a fiance visa. No one got the visa. I would advise that your mother-in-law, also get more information from an immigration consultant on ways the process will be easier and successful.
