Yes. Therefore if I wish to show the job then I will first take appointment letter now and start working now. I will show the appointment letter weather they may consider or not. But this will be a legal way to try.

Like I said before, COs have seen every trick in the book before and others too have pointed out this will look highly suspicious, you suddenly get a job just before you apply for a visa. But good luck trying this route.

I don't think the plan as stated would end up with a material misrepresentation bar as it's not false, but I do think it's playing with fire...just one question and the story starts to look like you're generating evidence just to get the visa, which will destroy your credibility. Credibility is the strongest thing you can have in your favor, especially for a tourist visa, and will follow you.

Yup. But I'm just saying it starts to look that way to the CO as well. ;)

Having a job to return home to is a good mark in your favor---if it's an actual period of employment.  The part that is NOT in your favor is that you would be essentially working for your husband, so easy for the CO to think you will just leave that job and overstay or for the CO to think you are not actually working but just "employed" in an attempt to make your case sound better (and, as you just admitted, you weren't actually working there this past month---money was just transferred to make it seem so).

 

You will be standing on the thin line of misrepresentation if you try any sort of trick with the CO----which could result in a ban on any type of visa in the future.

Actually till now no money is credited. I will not do that. I will show that I just joined weather they may consider it or not. But I will not do any thing that may ban my visa. I am already suffering now so why to create further more complications. I will try my best to overcome these complications doing all legally and returning on time. Though it may take more time, but I feel that when my intention is not to overstay there, then if not now, then at least in future the CO will definitely understand my true intention. And I am trying to go leaving my daughter in India. I will have to return for my daughter. I can't leave her alone.

Unfortunately, there's many, many cases on VJ alone where this was not a tie that compelled somebody to return back home. They left the child back home and overstayed (presumably bringing the child later).

Edit: For clarity, I'm not implying that's the case here. I'm just saying COs don't put much sway in this as a tie as many people have not held it as one in the past.

So you did break the rules of your tourist visa and worked illegally in the U.S.?

I didn't break the rules as my H1 was approved in USA. USA government issued it legally as per their rules only knowing that I am on visitor visa and applied in last for H1. They didn't do that illegally. If it was illegal why will US government allow me to work? But then my visitor visa time ended so I returned immediately as per US government rules. Who are you all to say against US rules. If you feel it's illegal then go and ask US government not me. I just followed rules there when I was in USA. Else I would have overstayed there because my H1 was already approved there. But as it was not stamped on my passport I returned. 

Present problem doesn't say that I was illegal. They just want surety that I will return.

You said before that you worked “for free” last time you were there, during your visitor visa. What work did you do? Free work can still be illegal.

She said daughter was in college, old enough to not be a tie anyway?

Her child but not a child.

Good catch...I lost track of that in the 4 pages. :P Yeah, this goes doubly for a college-aged child anyway.

The employer who provided me offer asked me to do so till I get stamped on my passport. That later she will provide me if I will return and continue work. In a school I took care of kids along with others.

Working illegally certainly will not help matters.

Yes she is a college going girl 17 yrs old. Considered minor as per Visa application. I never said that she is a kid. It doesn't mean that she is a strong bond or whatever it may be. But personally she is a bond for me as she is my only daughter. But you can laugh and enjoy. Appears as if you are all waiting let's see how she gets visa. She should not get visa. She is an illegal person or a criminal.

OP- let us know if you get the visa after the interview.  When is the interview? 

Others here- try not to feed too much here. Plenty of relevant advice given. Not uncommon for India applicants to bend the truth to attain what they're after, and OP's contradictory posts are no different.
