Hi all,
My parents (both retired) and older brother have a B1/B2 family interview at the Mumbai consulate in Feb. They’re visiting me in the US (I’m on H-1B) mainly for a short family visit and some sightseeing.
If the visa is approved and travel works out, we may also do a simple civil marriage registration while they’re here (nothing fixed yet).
For the interview question “Why are you going to the US?”, is it better to keep the answer minimal (e.g., “visiting my daughter and sightseeing”) and mention the civil registration only if asked, or disclose it upfront?
I’m asking because my uncle (a US citizen) has requested a senator’s letter for the visit, and in that request, we’ve mentioned that if time permits, there may be a civil registration. Given this, would Mumbai officers expect it to be mentioned proactively, or is it still better to wait unless asked?
Would appreciate insights from recent Mumbai interview experiences—thanks!
