For my father who had US B2 visa expired last year, now got interview scheduled(OFC) at new delhi, customer care told dropbox at chennai to submit documents. So, what exactly or most important other supporting documents need to submit along with new passport, 2 old passports, ds160 confirmation page, appointment confirmation page, visa payment page?... So my questions are, my father is 81 years old, retired govt employee, receiving monthly govt pension. So do my father have to submit photo copies of pension book and monthly pension pay slips for 1 year? Also photo copies of my father's banks savings accounts statements(6 months or 1 year), FD statements, Health Insurance policies and also ID document such as Aadhar card, for ITR->PAN card to have strong supporting documents for my father's renewal US B1/B2 visa approval? So far no rejections in my father's previous US visa's. Please tell me about this, madam ?
Great video. I applied for USA visa my interview is in march 2025 . During this period I renewed my passport. But in DS 160 and appointment schedule there is my old passport number which was valid when I filled ds 160. Now how to change passport no. In DS 160. Should I take both old and new passport at biometric centre in delhi or only new passport. I am a bit confused. Please guide.
When we book an OFC (Biometrics) on a X date and Interview date is X+1y or more then fee paid will be invalid ? Such case can come as interview slots might not be available in one from the date of OFC appointment

I have US L1A VISA Interview waiver and got DROP BOX Appointment in Chennai - can I drop in Bangalore VFS ? I have previously issued B1 expiring in Feb 2026
My b1 b2 visa expires in March 2020. I have green card which was issued in 2022. Is it possible to surrender Green Card and get b1 b2 visa? My age is 66 years and my wife's age is 61 years. I have two sons. One of them is citizen of us in one of them is green card holder of US.
Hello. You mean the visa has already expired ? Since it has crossed 48 months, dropbox wont be applicable. You can surrender the green card and then apply for a b2 visa through the interview route.
Thank you @ShachiMall. I was scratching my head on how this works. I paid the visa fees and opted for drop-off. But got confused when scheduling an appointment. You clarified that nicely. You really made my day. God bless you!
@@ShachiMall When I add dependent to primary applicant profile, it took UID of the dependent profile and added successfully. I noticed that the appointment confirmation has same DS-160 number mentioned for primary and dependent DS-160 field. Is that expected?
