How much Bank Balance should we maintain for success B1 stamp under self sponser

[meeunda]

Hi Seniors,

I am applying B1 visa for my spouse under self sponsor. When it comes under self sponsor, how much money we should maintain in our bank account for successful B1 stamping under self sponsor?
If i have lump sum in my account and my wife will be appearing alone with baby for B1 (we both employed in India for some different service companies and i already have my B1 visa) should she have lumpsump in her account or she can show my account statement? Should i need to transfer the lump sum amount to my wife account for statement to show off during interview?

What are all the documents required for appearing visa under self sponsor?
I have a following check list can some one confirm if this is enough? or am i missing something here?

1. Passport
2. Purpose of travel / duration of stay / date of travel
3. 3 months salary slip
4. Company appointment Letters
5. Revision letters
6. Form 16 of last 3 years
7. Company ID card
8. 6 months bank statement
9. Educational certificates
10 property papers / FD in original
11 MRV fees Payment receipt
12 appointment confirmation
13 DS160 confirmation.


Above document show she carry for both of us or only her is sufficient? for example the company offer letter / form 16 / pay slip / bank statement and all, she need to carry only her own or she can carry mine as well?

Can some one please guide us?

Thanks

First of all , you have not mentioned HER purpose of visit.

Is she going on a B1 ( business) visit related to her job

OR

Is she and the baby just accompanying YOU
on your business visit?

Changing subject - its all for B2 visa

they do not care about bank balance as people can build that up by borrowing .
They always ask for the income of the funding person and the applicant.
Since she is earning too ,she will need to carry her own income papers ( salary slip and tax returns are usually what they ask for)
Also, if she is earning very well , she can mention "self' as the funding person in the form
and then she won't need any of your income papers.
If you think you earn a lot more and want to show yourself as the funding person in
the form DS160, she will need to carry some proof of your income. Also she must carry a copy of your visa.


Documents;
A lot of times these days, they do not ask for any documents.
so she must carry the really important ones to avoid clutter and confusion at the window, omit the unnecessary ones like form 16, educational certificates, property papers.

Most imp are employment cum leave letter with salary slip and tax return. a copy of your visa and invite from her sister and a copy of her green card.

Ds160 confirmation, visa fee receipt, appointment confirmation, these 3 she won't need at the interview window because the entry staff will use those
before the interview. so keep all those separate from docs mentioned above.
