Please help me on Occupation Title

[virudhun]

Hi,

Since my wife doesn't work, I am going to sponsor visitor visa for my in-laws. I would like to know from you which occupation title should be put in the DS-156 application for the following situation...

My father-in-law is 58 yrs old; my mother-in-law is 52 yrs old. He is doing a trading business. She is a housewife. But he runs the business on her name (meaning, she is the proprietor as per the company registration papers). Also only her name is on the tax returns. My question is, how should I put the occupation titles for both of them. I have only the intention of telling the truth, at same time I would like to make sure it is represented clearly to the consulate people without any confusion.

The possible options I could think of...

1. HE - Business, SHE - Housewife
But the problem here is that he wouldn't be able to show any proof that he is doing business.

2. HE - Business, SHE - Business
She can show the proof but she wouldn't be able to answer any questions about business if she is asked.

Please let me know what you think I should do in this situation. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

U can go with either option. If asked u can say that father is running the business eventhough its on mothers name.

Probably I might go with the first option. Thank you for your prompt reply!
