Hi,
I need a quick advice on sponsoring my parents' and in-laws' US visas (B2). I have done my PhD from a US university and currently working as a postdoctoral associate at one of the national labs in US. My wife is staying with me and both of our visa time period, F-1 and F-2 respectively, got expired. My I-20 is also expired after my graduation and currently I am in OPT status. My current employer won't sponsor my H1B until I consume the whole possible OPT time period including the STEM extension. Now we are planning to arrange a short trip for my parents and in-laws to US. So my question here is, can I sponsor for their trip? and if so, how much money I need to have in bank account. Here I should mention that all four of them will not come together, but two at a time. So, I am talking about sponsoring two persons at a time.
Also, what if they will sponsor their own trip? How much money they need to show in their bank account in that case? My father is a business man and he pays income taxes over the years and he has own living house and other insurance policies as the property. My mother is a house wife and has no source of income. Whereas, my father-in-law runs his own small business and his annual gross income is non-taxable. And my mother-in-law is a housewife too. But they also have their own house, insurance policies and some land properties as well.
please advise as we are hoping to schedule their visa interview soon.
thanks
