  • Certain Specifics about Tourist Visa !!! Pls Help, Regarding Ties to India !!

    Hi All,

    I was out of Kolkata for a few days .But now back and now making preparations for applying for my Tourist Visa to USA for 20 days.I am 30 .Now I am making arrangements to show the following :

    a) MY Cousin who is a citizen there is sponsoring my for everything there and the both way fares.I am waiting for The I-134 as well as the invitation letter from him.

    b) Invitation letter also from my cousin sister & my friend , to visit them.Thus I wd be having 3 invitation letters.

    c) Bank A/c here in India that has exited in India That is existent for over 10 yrs.However I am showing as I am student now( taking a specialised course ) , my father is providing me the pocket money.But this money I am showing is my own from a job I was in , and has been kept stored with my dad.

    d) My LIC, Mediclaim , PPF diposits that is continuing still now.

    e) Since I am a freelancer at the present moment I am showing that I am on a 3D project for last 1 & half yrs.A letter from my institute wherefrom I am taking an specialised 3D course , that I still have my project to submit and within December and my campus interview wd be assigned after I return from the trip .


    Needed to know the following :

    a) I am showing my income tax return certificate for the period I have been employed.Should I also have to show my dad`s income tax return certificates and bank statements as he is giving me the money in my account ??

    b)We have a appartment in which we live.BUt thats in Dad`s name.So is it very necessary to show it in my name, making Dad declare on a Notary Stamp Paper ??If he declares now , just before the visa application , wont that look suspicious ??

    c) An Visa agent here has told me that Its good if I can show any occassion out at my cousin`s place , who is sponsoring me.Any occassion as his son`s birthday or I wd be there to visit his newborn etc etc .......... is these things necessary ?? or a plain and good invitation leter would serve his purpose ??

    d) Also I wd be applying at Kolkata .Wd Mumbai or Delhi wd have been good ?? BUt then what wd I say them ...why am I ere when I am a resident of Kolkata ??

    Please Respond .......... as I would have to change things based on replies I get !!

    o boy!!!! you have made it so complicated.
    The interview is much simpler and will be decided only on the basis of 4-5 questions assessing your ties to India.(job, income and family). Documents have very little value and are rarely asked for.

    Why do you wish to go?
    for how long?
    What do you do in India?
    what is your salary?
    Are you married?

    I do not advise you to apply in your situation; I do not mean to dishearten you, but your situation has no factors that bind you to return to India.I-134 from a US citizen cousin and 3 invitation letters are negative factors and not + factors as you are thinking.

    Young, single, with no stable employment and low inconsistent income ( free lancer), going for casual purpose to a USC cousin (s) are things that show
    you may be helped by your cousins to settle in US.

        Yes, they will think like that. And even with a job there are no guarantees because your purpose of trip is casual and you are young and I assume you are single.

        One denial makes future attempts more difficult.
        So it is advisable not to rush into things and prepare yourself well for at least a year and then apply.

        Tips;
        1. Get a well paying job, work for 12 months, and try to link your purpose of visit to that job
        (business visit). Apply for short stay matching your business visit( fairs, conferences).
        2. Do not mention your cousins and do not show a casual trip.
        A casual trip to US citizen relatives by a young single person has a high
        likelihood of denial because such persons do not return.
        3. If you get a very well paying job , ( 8-10 lacs per year), you can show self
        financing the trip. If your job is not that well paying, ask your employer to send you on a business trip and finance it.
