Help wanted for visitor's visa

[deepayamini]

Hi,

I am planning to bring my parents here for a visit. I went into immi.com looking for information and I was a bit confused on some details. I will list all my questions and doubts. Thanks for all who answer my questions.


1. I am the only daughter of my parents, I know that it might give an option for them to be a potential immigrant, is there any way where my parents can convince the consulate that they might not be a potential immigrant in this case?
2. Both my parents are working in a private concern right now. Well my mother might get out of her job in a few days. My dad works in a small business in my home town. I read in immihelp that the applicant should provide a leave sanction letter. But my dad's concern is not so big, I hope you can understand it. What should I do about this?
3. The immihelp tells that the sponsor should provide their birth certificate showing the relation between them and the applicant. I dont have a birth certificate as such. I mean I never provided one even in the school, my parents never had a one for me. I know I can submit alternate documents in this case. I want some help on this.
4. How much money should I show in the Bank for both of them?
5. Should both of them attend the same day or on a different day? Which is better?
6. For how long should I show my Bank statements? Should I maintain a good balance for a considerable amount of time?
7. Is there any other documents or ways that I can use to make the VISA officer believe that my parents wont be an potential immigrant?
8. My Dad's name is my last name. I am from Tamilnadu and many people have their dad's name as their last name. But unfortunately my Dad's actual name on his documents is not the same as his name on my last name. Will this be a problem? Or is there any way to show that both the names belong to him? Any suggestions.


Most of my questions might have been met by somebody already. I am just confused and lost. I want to bring them here somehow. I will be very thankful to the people who answer these questions. Thanks for your time and patience.

With smiles,
Deepa.

1. I am the only daughter of my parents, I know that it might give an option for them to be a potential immigrant, is there any way where my parents can convince the consulate that they might not be a potential immigrant in this case?

Well, there is no definite answer to this. Show solid finance back home and other family ties..

2. Both my parents are working in a private concern right now. Well my mother might get out of her job in a few days. My dad works in a small business in my home town. I read in immihelp that the applicant should provide a leave sanction letter. But my dad's concern is not so big, I hope you can understand it. What should I do about this?

Evenif the business is small, i don't think its hard to get a letter with their seal on it.

3. The immihelp tells that the sponsor should provide their birth certificate showing the relation between them and the applicant. I dont have a birth certificate as such. I mean I never provided one even in the school, my parents never had a one for me. I know I can submit alternate documents in this case. I want some help on this.

U can get a notarised affidavit of birth from ur parents or relatives. Notarised first page of the matriculation cert. is another option.

4. How much money should I show in the Bank for both of them?

There is no limit. the more the better.. I would say atleast 5 lakhs?

5. Should both of them attend the same day or on a different day? Which is better?

NOt sure

6. For how long should I show my Bank statements? Should I maintain a good balance for a considerable amount of time?

U need atleast 5-10K here. U need to get a letter from bank to prove this

7. Is there any other documents or ways that I can use to make the VISA officer believe that my parents wont be an potential immigrant?

Affidavit of assurance from parents. Send a detailed invitation letter to consulate describing all possibe reasons for their return

8. My Dad's name is my last name. I am from Tamilnadu and many people have their dad's name as their last name. But unfortunately my Dad's actual name on his documents is not the same as his name on my last name. Will this be a problem? Or is there any way to show that both the names belong to him? Any suggestions.


As far as the name in ur lastname comes somewhere in dad's name, i don't see any problem.

thanks, still have questions

Hi Dahlia,

Thanks a lot for your time and patience. I did get some answers clear but I have some more confusions. I am aware that I will have to show atleast 5-10,000 dollars in my bank account. My concern was should I maintain this balance for a considerable period of time before I get a statement? or Can i just deposit it for a week and get a statement? should I get a financial statement or a monthly statement or both? Well I found out from my parents that I do have a birth certificate. But as I told earlier, my dad's name on my records are different and his records are different. So should I submit any proof for both names belong to the same person? Thanks for your help.

You need to send your parents the bank account verification letter which contains your name, average bank balance (1 year), current balance, date account opened on bank letterhead and seal.

And also you need to send atleast last 6 months bank statement to them.

So, I guess you need to have money for atleast quite soemtime.

Good Luck.

Swetha.

Bank acct verification letter has a standard format showing current balance and average monthly balance for the last 6 months. That means u have to have the money in ur acct for a while to be shown in the acct verification letter. In addition to this letter, u must send 3-4 months montly bank stmts as well.

rgding the name, can u tell how exactly it appears?
