Applying Tourist visa for my parents in Nepal financial documents and DS-160

[mycase17 114]

VJ members,

          I'm gearing up to apply for my parent's tourist VISA and this community always has been super helpful. I had some very basic questions. 

 

1. On DS-160 form, Is it okay If I fill out in English? My parents do not speak English but i assume they will provide translator in embassy on their interview. 

2. Does US Embassy in Nepal even take any financial documents from me or my parents? I heard from my friends and people I know, they don't let pass any documents inside the embassy and solely based on interview. Could anyone please enlighten me? 

3. After I fill out DS-160, how does scheduling interview works? Do they put them in backlog or Do I have to manually hunt  to got interview dates?

they must have qualify on their own with strong ties to insure they will return to Nepal

own a home or apartment

job

your income will not be part of the interview

 

processing times for interview are seen on the following site for visa appointment times and it appears to be 

Visitor Visa

73 Calendar Days

1.  Ok for you to fill out the DS-160 in English.  List yourself as form preparer on the DS-160.

2.  Most of the information needed by the consul officer to make a decision is already on the DS-160.  The Department of State's website says that financial support documents from family in the US are not necessary.

3.  Applicants have to book an interview date via the online scheduling portal.

in our embassy we schedule the tourist interview

so,  when the site opens up to schedule them,   make 2 close together 

casa does one every 10 minutes and we scheduled his mom and then his aunt for the next time slot

I have not seen the scheduler for Nepal.  When I scheduled our family's B2 visa interview in my home country, there was an option in the scheduling portal to add family members to the same interview schedule.  It's not based on the entries in the DS-160 form.
