B1/B2 Visa - DIFFERENT QUESTIONS ASKED

Hello. My husband and I have just completed non-immigrant visa forms online. We are the same age and we hold the same nationality. However he was asked more questions. Is this the norm?

He was asked what other countries he has visited in the last 5years, additional info on training and qualifications, 5 year work history as well as whether he is a member of a clan or tribe etc.

yes I believe that is right. in the past before the DS-160 online form, men aged between 17 and 65 (I cant remeber the exact range) used to fill in a extra form whe applying for visa. i takke it they have now transferred that to the online form

B1 its for business B2 for tourist, The B-1 Business Visa is approved for business visitors who wish to enter the United States for a temporary period of time to engage in valid business activities, such as meetings, conferences, negotiating contracts and consultations. The B-2 Tourist Visa is also known as the visitor visa. The B-2 Visitor Visa is approved for individuals who wish to enter United States for a temporary period for pleasure, travel to visit family, friends, engage in tourist activities or receive medical treatment. The B-2 Visitor Visa can also pertain to individuals who will accompany a spouse or partner who enters the United States on another visa status.

Business travelers may enter the United States using a B1 Visa, or 'Visitor for Business' Visa. In practice these visas are invariably issued as jointly with B2 Visa, or 'Visitor for Pleasure' (i.e. Tourist) visa. This practice means that, if a candidate has an old tourist visa, it may be valid for a planned business trip. For those who come under the visa-waiver scheme, details of which are provided below, there is usually no need to apply for a visit visa at all if the candidate wishes to visit the US for three months or less.
