IR5 Visa Interview Questions for a Parent - Mumbai Consolate

[sumpen 0]

My Son sponsored me and have an interview scheduled at Mumbai Consulate. Also, at this time, I'm the only one being sponsored and not my husband. I guess that would be one question I need to be prepared to answer. Can you share your experience or your parents with the questions that were asked at the consulate or embassy?
Thank you all in advance!

The question and answer that matters is why didn’t your son petition your husband? The (truthful) reasons others had to that question are only relevant if their answers are the same as what your answer will be. 
 

So for example, if, hypothetically, it comes out that you plan to spend most of your time with your husband and use your green card as a way to visit the U.S. with more ease, that is an invalid use of a green card, and I would expect the IR-5 to be denied.

There is no way to rehearse ways to answer the questions.   You need to be honest.
