Hi,
My mom has her interview on dec 14th in chennai. I am sponsoring her visa. She is taking help of a travel agent(known to us very well) in taking the appoinment
and other help. I would be grateful if somebody answers my following questions.
Background info:
She is working in a central govt. undertaking organization retiring next year in july. My dad is not travelling due to personal reasons and he has a small
consultancy business . My mom has decent bank balance around 1lak, but we sent money during this year to my mom's account to buy some property till this
month(november) which is in 5,6 laks range every 2/3 months and now also her bank balance will be little over 10 laks due to the money we sent to buy property.
My general concerns:
1. Should my mom get bank account verification letter from her bank w/o mentioning the money we sent her or is it ok as the money has been distributed throught
out the year to buy my property?
2. In affidavit, should she mention about my dad not coming or his business or is it ok if she mentions only the property under her name (she has a house and
couple of land documents?)
3. I have given her power of attorney to buy some documents. should she also carry that and mention in that affidavit?
I have few concerns/issues regarding DS-156:
1. My mom said the travel agent gave the DS156 completed (partially) when taking an appoinment. Is it necessary.
2. Also I went through the scanned copy and found few errors. What do I do now?
3. Question # 8 & 9. My mom changed her first and last name according to **********(some 15 years back) so should she mention that in the DS 156 where
they have asked for other surnames used and other first and middle names used. But the passport is in her changed name.
4. Question # 22. when do you intend to arrive in the US, should it match the date in NOC and leave certificate?(she has taken NOC from december but the intended date has been filled as jan 27 2007)
5. Question # 27. purpose of your trip: To visit my daughters family and toursim(this is her reply) Is it ok?
6. Question # 28. who will pay for your trip: Self and daughter(this is her reply) should it be changed only to daughter?
7. She need not fill DS-157 as she is above 55. Am I correct?
Thanks
