What was your income and work when you applied for your first visa 10 years ago?

What is your stipend now?

[Mustafa Lakdawala]

thanks for replying to my query when i had got my visa in 2001 i was a student studying in the first year of Master s which i could not complete i had got the visa on basis of my father who was a research scientist, also stipends per day are about 30 dollars approx and the tour is approximately for 2 weeks most of the times

thanks once again

just write tour operator cum manager under present work and give the company's name
and for the last 5 years write what you have been doing under past work.
Education is for people who are students or have been students for the last 5 years.

How will show them proof of your salary ? And $ 30 a day is very less for self funding of US trip for your family.
You are running the risk of a denial all of you.

You will need to show strong income at least 1 lac per month for casual travel to US with family.
And for that you will need proof .

Apply only when you can manage that.
