Going to the USA for first time, will I get a B1?

[srivastava]

Hi,

I work for an Indian Company and I am a very senior position in the company. My company is a very big company in the field Education and I have been with this company for last 6.5 Years.

One of our clients (a renowned International software company) wants be and one of my senior colleagues to attend a 10 day training in USA for one of the programs they are launching in India.

I have received the admission approval letter (invite) from the director of the institute for the course
I have also the letter from my client inviting me to the course and that they are sponsoring the course and my trip to USA
I also have a letter from my own company stating that they are also ready to sponsor my visit to the USA.

I have never been outside India
I have been married for last 10 years with no kids and my wife is expecting this year
I own a flat, car and 2 motorcycles.
My salary is around 6L per annum and have got ESOPs from my own company.

what are my chances of getting a B1, and any other tips .

Regards,
sumit

That all depends on how the interviewing consul interprets your social and financial ties to India. You should have a decent chance of overcoming 214(b), specially if traveling alone to the US without your wife.
