B2 Visa for parents: 1. Is Itinerary required? 2. Relative proof

[ashishsagarwal]

Filled up DS-160 and took an appointment successfully. Documents collection and interview preparation is on the way. Have some questions:
Basically they are travelling for tourism purpose which is self sponsored and also to meet a relative. The relation is like their daughter's brother in law is the USA.
1. In DS-160 form details and point of contact in the USA is the relative (daughter's brother in law). So while going through the list of documents found that itinerary is required to be present. Frankly speaking only after VISA approval they will plan (self plan) for travel and book tickets.
My question is: Do we still need itinerary? If yes from some travel agent or plain doc about places of interest?

2. Do they require to show any proof of relation: daughter's brother in law. As they have provided details in form ds-160 and planning to visit them for a day or two.

1. No Itinerary is not required but only tentative date, you can always say buying ticket after visa approval.

2. No proof is required, but since you already mentioned him in DS-160 - invitation letter from him mentioning they plan to stay with him for one/2 days. They will need his passport copy & immigrant/ non-immigrant visa proof. But they need to be clear that real purpose is Tourism.
