Tourist Visa Category for my parents?

[ashikuzzaman]

I am working under H1 for a while and my wife is on H4. Our baby is due end of October and my parents will come at that time. I was thinking whether my parents should mention that they are coming to USA because we are expecting baby or they should only mention that they are coming to visit us. One of my friends were saying not to mention that baby is coming becuase they may be refused by US consulate to get a visa as they may think that a day care job will be lost.

Also what other paper they might need from me? My H1 papers, bank statement, invitation letter....and?

Any comment will be appreciated.

Your friend is right. You should never say pregnancy as the reason for visitor's visa. It is always safe to say tourism.

Good Luck
