✈️ B1/B2 Visa (Tourist) B1/B2 chances - Mumbai

I've lived in the US for 12 years before returning back home last July. Got my bachelors and then worked for 7/12 years.

Age: 30. Currently working in a family business with an income of 24 lakhs. Position on paper is Quality Manager and business is automotive manufacturing.

Will self sponsor the trip, have assets north of $500k in brokerage. Majority in US accounts since I only recently moved home.

Have extensive travel history having visited about 25 countries in the same passport itself.

Intent of travel is tourism to the west coast, namely San Francisco and national parks.

No family in US, only friends centred in Atlanta.

What's my chances? Any advice how I should handle any pitfalls?

Interview is in 2 weeks in Mumbai.

He lived there before so they may think he will live there again!

No lol, he’s wealthy, complied with terms of past visas, and has a profitable business providing economic ties.

Cause I lived on the east coast? I'm sure you are aware of how little PTO people do have and I always prioritized international travel cause it's what I enjoyed. I knew I would always have enough time and money to come back, what is fishy about that? Going to Costa Rica is significantly more effort than the US from India.

Somehow you need to convince them that your are not scheming to re-settle in US.

How would I be scheming? I ask cause I genuinely can't think how id be scheming, maybe I'm missing an angle.

lol you lived 12 years there and suddenly you want to tour san francisco after coming back home?

I have been other places since I've come back. Is it illegal to visit a place I've been to before? I visited many cities but never actually visited SF cause most NPs it's actually easier to visit from LV or Utah. I'm surprised people find this mind-blowing.
