I am one of the silent reader of this forum. This will be my first post here in almost 2 years. I thank everyone that has taken their time to share their knowledge and insights on obtaining US visa. I secured my first US visa this week at my 3rd attempt. I have a brother in US who filed for my family since 2007. My first attempt was in 2010 going for training but was refused. I attempted again in march 23rd this year, going for holiday, the VO asked me only 2 questions and denied me. I thought I was denied again because of my pending immigrant application but when I read the VO's comment here that this category of people still get visa, I then decided to give it a shot again. Below is the script of my interview:

Vo: Hi
Me: Hello
Vo: Why are you going to the US
Me: To attend training on ...... during ....... Exhibition in Texas
Vo: What do you do?
Me: I'm an ............. professional
Vo: Have you traveled before?
Me: Yes
Vo: Where & where?
Me: China, South Africa, Kenya & some west African states
Vo: Are you married?
Me: Yes
Vo: How many kids?
Me: 3
Vo: Tell me more about the ....?
Me: Please can you come again?
Vo: Tell me more about the training you are going for in Texas?
Me: .............................. is ............, we need this training in order to......
Vo: (Cut in) ok.... kept typing for about 45 secs..... pls pick up your visa in 3 working days and she stretched the white form across...

Please note that I stated my purpose at the exhibition, I learnt that from this forum!
Then, I noticed that these guys give people visa only at their discretion, while I was on the que, a woman in her mid 50s going to visit her student son in the US was issued the visa when she even stated that her son in going to pay for her trip. I can say it is just FAVOUR of God!

Thanks everyone!
