Now my father was employed with only one big Indian PSU bank for his entire employment career from 1972-2010. I checked "Yes", and then it asks me to give the details of the Employer name, address, telephone number, zip code, supervisor name, employment start from date, employment end date, job duties etc. In the section where it asks "Were you previously employed?". I have one, hopefully last question about the form. Thank you very much for the prompt response. So does putting "Self" have any affect on the outcome despite my father being retired? Essentially, what I mean is whether choosing "Self" is too ambitious for a retired individual, and whether that would trigger an interview call from the consulate to check their financial status. My mother was never employed and is a homemaker. So is "Self" the correct option to choose? My father is also retired but they are well off in India with a good pension and a house. Of course once they are here, they will stay with me and their expense with food and other basic amenities will be covered by me.
On the question of "Person paying for the trip", I selected "Self" as my parents will be using their own funds to travel to the US. If I choose B2, then should I answer "Yes" to the question "Are you applying for the same type of visa?" (as their last visa was B1/B2)Ģ. Their previous visa was also used for pleasure and tourism and not for any business. They will just be visiting me for pleasure and tourism and not for any business, so I'm a bit confused as to what to choose. I checked their last visa and it says B1/B2 under Type/Class and R under Visa. Should I select B1/B2 (Business & Tourism) or just B2 (Tourism/Medical Treatment) in the visa category? I'm asking this because there is also a question later in the form which asks "Are you applying for the same type of visa?". I (son) was completing their DS-160 from US on their behalf, and had couple of questions from that form.ġ. So my parents are eligible for dropbox facility for their B1/B2 visa renewal. I have all the documents with me to show the record with immigration and case history. Secondly, Do you think will it be hard for me to get visa as i have issued visas before as well (F1 and H1). "have you ever been arrested or convicted."Ģ. But I need suggestion whether to select Yes or No for the question. Now i want to apply for visit visa with my family and visit the great country again.ġ. By the way i never returned to US and settled in some other country due to family reasons. the visa was approved with annotation "Class record not an ineligibility", So i'm assuming that the immigration officer saw something on his screen and wanted to make sure since on DS-160 i answered with NO. At the time of H1 visa interview (2009) the officer asked me if i have ever been in trouble with the law so i gave him proof and told the whole story. Please note that in every immigration form, i have always selected NO to the question(OPT application, H1 visa application, H1 visa DS-160 etc). After that i completed by bachelors (2006), masters (2008) and got sponsored for H1 visa (2008) and visa was also stamped (2009) successfully. By the time removal proceeding hearing concluded, i was registered in school and the immigration judge dismissed the case and reinstated my F1 status. Then i was released right away on my own recognizance. I was called to state immigration office and was arrested and placed in removal proceedings. Back in Spring 2003 i was put on academic probation and hence was not allowed to register for the semester.
