US Immigration from India

Hi everyone,

Please help me. My wife and I have applied for visitor visa for USA and scheduled for an interview in Mumbai in July 2023. My DS 160 application and confirmation page both show that my purpose of travel is tourism. But my appointment confirmation letter shows it is B1. How do i get that fixed? do i need to get it fixed as long as my ds 160 is correct? Please help. Thanks a lot.

What is going on

Hello. I know I"m jumping the gun a little but I need to plan for the timing of the oath ceremony due to travel plans. My interview is scheduled for February 14, 2023. I am already booked for a business trip to my home country (India) from April 21 through May 26. Assuming my interview goes well and I get approved for naturalization, here are some potential dates for the oath ceremony taken from the State of Tennessee 2023 Naturalization Calender:

February 16, 2023 (this might be too soon being only a couple of days after my interview).

March 2, 2023

April 27, 2023

May 16, 2023

By some stroke of luck, if they schedule me for the Feb interview, I will likely have enough time to get my documents in order before the trip. However, in the event that they schedule me for either the March or April ceremonies, I'm afraid I will not have sufficient time after the ceremony to apply for my passport, and once I have that, apply for a tourist visa.

So my question is: in my request to reschedule the oath ceremony, are we allowed to specify that we would like it to be scheduled after a certain date? Or do they just schedule it for the next available month, which could possibly be the very next month? If the former is possible, I should be okay since I can ask them for a date after my return, but if it is the latter, I am going to be in a bind.

Thank you!

I recall there was a document in past which listed all the oath ceremony dates in Houston. I can't find it online anymore.

My mother is approved for naturalization after the interview. She has to travel overseas to attend a wedding. Thus we want to plan accordingly so that we do not miss the oath ceremony.

I have my interview in 2+ weeks and wondering if it speeds up process for the IO if I proactively upload the 4 years of IRS transcripts and 5th year of tax returns as additional evidence?

I will carry with them but if the IO is gonna ask for, why not upload ahead?

Also, did anyone got asked for when applying with EB5+?

TIA
