Even if you do not have any property but have healthy balances ,deposits and returns, it should be fine. In your situation, your father sponsoring the
trip will not be acceptable. Consulars expect a married surgeon to pay his own way.Nursing home registration/ownership papers will help establish your
place of work and that it belongs in the family. You could get a letter
of invitation from your brother-in-law inviting you to his place for the
period of your test.
