Partial Sponsorship

[theshani]

Hello,

My parents and my sister and her family are planning to visit us in the US this summer; they would be paying for tickets while I would be taking care of everything else. One of the questions in the DS-160 is who is sponsoring the trip and the listed options don't include partial sponsorship. Would it be a problem in the visa interview if my parents and sister's family say they would pay for tickets while I would be taking care of all other expenses? Any suggestions on how to handle this?

Alternatively, if partial sponsorship doesn't work, can my parents say they are self-sponsored (they have more money in their accounts than my sister and brother-in-law), while sister and her family say they are sponsored by us? Would this present any problems?

Thanks for your advice and suggestions.

Second option would be better as per my opinion. You can sponsor your sister family ,parents can do self sponsor and make it simple otherwise it becomes to complicated for partial sponsorship.
