B1/B2 Visa Interview + Documents

Have my B1/B2 visa interview lined up. Weirdly anxious about this. Have spent a significant amount of money to get an appointment. Share your experience, tips, what to say and not to say…

Anyone here who has applied for us tourist visa. I got the appointment for next year 2025 in july the waiting time is very long. I watched some videos and people say join the telegram group, chrome extension etc or check daily on the portal also you can only reschedule your appointments 3 times. Also is it true that immigration department releases slots very often and you just have to find dates? Please let me know if you have any suggestions or anything that helped you to get the appointment early

Planning to go to US on f1 visa and would be getting married before l go to study for my masters. My husband would be in UK that time. How difficult would it be for him to get B2 visa for US when he is applying on his own just for tourist purposes. He later plans to come to US visa the student route.

In short, I visited the US in 2018 for a exposure trip sponsored by the government as part of a startup competition I won with my team. Consequently, I now hold a valid B1/B2 visa until 2028. At times, I wonder how I could leverage this visa for my benefit. Currently, I have no engagements in the US but can visit friends there if I land there. I have a remote job with flexible hours, although I'm not sure if my company allows working from different time zones. However, I believe I could manage that somehow. Do you think it makes sense to go and stay there for some time to explore? I feel this could be beneficial in the long term. On the flip side, it's worth noting that this isn't necessary and may not be a wise financial choice. What do you guys think? What are your thoughts?

When's your interview slot ? Any tips to get an earlier slot ?

I'll go first - Shut laptop, get in comfy clothes and watch Amar Singh Chamkila! Imtiaz Ali after 4 years!!

I'm a self employed software engineer working as a remote contractor for a Berlin based German company. My employer is organizing a company-wide meet for 4 days in April. I also need to visit there. I've got a few queries. 1. Which VISA should I apply for, Business, Tourist or any other? 2. I also intend to stay there for 4 more days apart from 4 days of my official visit (total 8 days) to explore the country. If it's going to be a business VISA, can I also travel using my business visa as a tourist to other places in Germany? 3. If I want to stay there a bit longer as a tourist to explore the city and the country, will I need the invite with the extended dates or can I have the invite with the official dates, book departure flight of 4 days later and can stay 4 more days as a tourist to learn more about the city? 4. If I am provided with the lodgings accommodations for the 4 days from company's end, will I need to pre-book my lodgings accommodations for the rest of the 4 days before applying for the VISA? Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience.
