I need some help in preparing for getting US visitor VISA for my mother.
I am currently working at the parent US office since July 2005 on L1 VISA but I am not on the US office pay roll. I am still a full time employee of the India office of the same company and I get paid in India. In the US, I have company paid furnished apartment, phone, Internet access and a car. I get per-diem amount to meet my expenses on meals and other incidentals. I don't have to pay taxes on that. I have visited India for short duration (~1 week) twice since and I am again going to India soon - each trip for work. My L1 VISA is valid till June 06. I will return to India and work out of India office from May onwards. I want to bring my mother to the US for 1 month. I have an appointment for her VISA interview on the 1st March.
However, I cannot produce an employment verification letter from my US employer with salary figure on it or income tax returns or pay stubs because I am not on the US company's payroll. I have a saving of about $8,000 + in my US bank accounts. My company can sponsor my mother's travel tickets to US. My mother is a widow, non working and my two siblings are in India. I have visited US multiple times in past 3-4 years. Let me know if you can help in suggesting how to proceed for getting a tourist VISA for my mother.
