Hello! My friend is applying for a tourist visa to the US from India. Any tips on the best way for him to not get rejected during the application and interview process? I understand the interview process and approval criteria is a bit ambiguous and subjective. But would like to know if there’s anything he can do to increase his chances to secure an approval for the visa. Thanks!

Hey folks,
I have been interviewed by 'FEI System', USA. But the offer letter which I have received is from a different company, 'Husys Consulting' Hyderabad.
When I asked them the reason behind this, they told me that FEI System has no physical presence in India, so 'Husys Consulting' hire on behalf of FEI System to meet legal compliance.
From the offer letter, it looks like it is third-party hiring. Should I accept this offer?
Any help would be appreciated.
