Visitor Visa for Mother in Law, Issue with names in passport

[[email protected]]

Hello ,

I am on H1B Visa and my wife on H4 Visa. I got H1B extension very recently.

Am planning to sponsor a Visiting Visa to my Mother In Law.

Need your help on following questions.

**My wife passport has her father name as below in her passport.

Father Name : Venkateswara Rao

But in my 'Mother in law' passport, we have following name in her passport ( Name of Spouse field) .

Name of Spouse : Venkateswarlu.

Do they check my wife passport and my mother in law Passport ?

Do we need to change my mother in law passport to reflect Venkateswara Rao (same as My wife passport) ?


**How much balance needs to be shown in her bank account and she is house wife.

She doesnot have any source of Income.She doesnot have any Properties on her name.


Can i sponsor a Visiting Visa to my Mother In Law in this situation?


I would really appreciate if you can provide some help on this.

What really matters is the parents name in your wife's passport & what she filled in when she submitted her DS160 for parents name & their DOB.

The same should match with their own individual passports.

Thank you Libra for the response, But Am sponsoring the Visa not my Wife, Do they compare the names with my wife passport.

Your & your in-laws relation is because of your wife only. So have them carry copy of Passport & Visa of you & your wife.
