I would suggest show documents that reflect your tying knots to your home country. Some examples are:

 

1. letter from your employer stating your designation, leave application details and assurance that you will resume work on a given date

2. Salary Bank account statements

3. Shares, stocks, FD's

4. Family and extended family in India

5. Property papers, if any

6. In case of any medical history, reports reflecting your immediate doctors and treatment needs to be done in India

 

Basically anything that assures USCIS that you are not somebody who will stay back illegally on B2 visa in the USA.

 

good luck!

 

Thank you for some actual helpful and valuable advice and for not making me feel like (removed)and discouraging me like so many negative people on here.

Nothing negative.. just clear, honest, matter-of-fact advice. (A US visa denial shouldn't make anyone feel like (Removed)). There is life outside the US. 

 

But as noted couple of posts above, unlikely for any documents to be looked at.

im not sure how the US consulate from each country works.

But i remember when i applied for my B2 visa long time ago in Hong Kong, I asked my current company wrote me an employment reference, in the letter, mentioned that you are an employee of their company, you will take off from when to when for going to the states for travel and will back to work on which date. I also brought my name card attached with the company letter. 

And I got 10 years approved for my B2 visa.

Unusual for paper work to be requested.

I had followed this list while applying US tourist visa while my GC was underway. it worked.

They will probably think you are just "using" your parents to get the approval. Besides you are an adult, a 29 year old woman so hardly they will give you the visa because of your parents.

 

I didn't even want to apply again this year but my parents wanted to make a family vacation and applied on my behalf. In fact, my dad is funding for all of us.

Why does she have to get married? It is irrelevant for the visa.

 

Right? Like I would get married before I'm even ready just to get a tourist visa to the USA 😂

And like you said, even that isn't a necessity really to get a visa.

Applied on your behalf? But you signed your own form, right? Presumably your parents had all the correct info to fill in too including the details of the prior refusals? The last thing you need after two denials is to have an incorrect form submitted.

Yes, I gave them all the correct details. There aren't any mistakes in the form.

What may have worked for you doesn't always work for others. Each application is different.  Are you saying (and giving OP false hope) you took all the documents in the link you quoted, and they were all looked at by the CO? 

 

Is this your link.. asking about AOS for Indian tourist visa holder?  And one wonders why India nationals, like the OP, have a hard time getting a tourist visa.

If your dad is funding this trip, this can backfire you or all of you for not having enough ties or funds for this trip. The tourist visa is based on your own merits. Just be aware of that. Please let us know what is the outcome of this. Good luck.

My dad is funding me because he's my dad and he earns enough money. Finances aren't an issue. And thank you.
