Will my parents be called to the embassy for their Cuba travel history? Should I renew my B1/B2 visa on the Interview Waiver?
Context: me and my sister are both on an F1 visa. She completed a fully funded master’s program at a T20 research university and is currently on the STEM OPT, and I am attending a T20 LAC with full financial aid as well and currently on a study abroad program in Oxford University. We are all from Turkey and are Turkish citizens.
My parents had a 10 year B1/B2 visa which they used twice, spending 10-15 days in the US each time. The visa expired this past November. They would like to renew their visa through the interview waiver so they could visit my sister.
Q1 - will me and my sister both being intl students in the US raise suspicion? My parents have absolutely no intent on immigrating to the US and they have around 200,000 USD yearly income, 4 apartments and a plot of land, and my mother is a civil servant.
Q2- My mother is a very frequent traveler (over 20 countries visited in the past 5 years) and visited Cuba 2 years ago for tourism reasons. Could this get her called to the embassy?
Q3- I also received a B1/B2 visa with my parents, which expired at the same time. I was 12 when I received the visa, but I received another F1 visa when I was 18 for which I was ten printed at the consulate. Am I eligible for the interview waiver and should i attempt to renew my tourist visa?
Q4- My study abroad program ends this June and I will be coming back to my US university in September to complete my senior year. Will I be able to travel to the US (to an airport far away from my university) after obtaining my renewed I20 on my F1 visa?
