Firstly, this is a very informative site. I've read the list of the required sponsored docs, but I have the following questions for a visitor visa application for my uncle and aunt who will be applying from Mumbai on Oct 27.
[1] Are recent paystubs absolutely required?
[2] Are past W2s AND tax-returns also definitely required or good to have?
[3] If my relatives get a 6 month visitor visa on Oct 27, what is the time-limit within which they have to fly out of Mumbai?
eg. (a) To skip the winter here, if they come here in March '06, will they be able to stay till Sept '06 (6 months from date of entry?) OR
(b) They will be granted visa only till April 27, '06 (6 months from getting visa in Mumbai) OR
(c) Independent of when they fly out, this is a random process that depends entirely on the Immigration Officer who will stamp the expiry date when they land in the US?
I understand that if they get a 10 year visa, they can fly out any time.
Thank you very much for your help.
