yay!!!!! :)

My in-laws got 10 yrs visa. :cool: Here's their experience.

After all entry procedures while they are at the waiting lounge, my MIL was getting more anxious as everyone was being

rejected. My in-laws found one common factor in everyone for being rejected or asked too many questions.

Consular : "What is the purpose of your trip"
Candidates : "Tour USA"
Consular : Are you going for 6 months to tour usa ? (in very sarcastic voice)
Candidates : Yes.
and then they keeping asking many questtions about US tourism and try to narrow down and end rejected the visa

So my-inlaws wanted to change the strategy. Their turn came...

Consular : "What is the purpose of you trip?"
FIL : "Spend some time with my daughter and SIL and also tour USA"
Consular : "Whats your SIL doing"
FIL : ........
The consular asked lots of details about me.... where's my employer.... where i live ..... from where to where i commute for

work.... did i work for such and such company earlier...... how long am living in US.... so and so forth.. and also about my

FIL's work profile (My FIL is still working)

Consular : "Has your company granted 6 months vacation for you ?"
FIL : "No, they have approved for 3 months and am still requesting for more, if they

approve i'll stay else 'll come back

after 3 months." (This is good to prove that you will come back)

Initially the consular's voice was....which we all know..... later after answering few questions it was smooth and a nice

discussion..

Though there is no pattern in rejection of visa.... some points to consider.....
1. State the trip as multi-purpose and make it more natural than just saying "Tourism", which might be true for us, but who cares abt that.... :rolleyes:
2. Provide all of your information detailed.... past, present...
3. mock the interview
 
Getting 10 Years Multiple visas for your In laws looks like they are more then lucky...not smart enough......

All visa applicants act smart enough...still not everybody gets the visas...
Luck has about 75% of the Role for getting visa...
Only 25% your Smartness counted...
 
Not to contest whether they're smart or not....

my inlaws doesnt know much about the visa thing at the consulate. While they were waiting, based on the conversations they over hear at the counter, even they felt that most of them are not very optmistic and clear in their answers. Something like "beating around the bush". When I heard that, I think, if not smart, a wise approach based on the mood of the consular might help.

Said that..... even you are the winner of "Who wants to be Millionare" . :D ... you might get rejected for "GOK" reasons... But that I wouldnt call LUCK. atleast not in my dictionary. it is one's destiny...... like how one did not choose to be born blind or whatever.....

so what u say is true tooo....

my 2 cents....
