Recent Graduate on OPT -applying for parents' B2

[NM14]

Dear Members,

Thanks at the outset for this helpful forum.

I am a recent graduate on OPT and also got my H1B approved-but I start working with my employer in July'2008.

I am married and my husband is on H1 since 1 year ( was on F1 since past 5 years).

I wish to invite my parents for a short visit since I am on vacation until July. Requesting your help with few queries:

Background: Mother is a housewife, dad retired-earns money through financial investments in India, Younger brother (25yrs.)-owns small business in India. Family income and ties can be supported by owned properties, house, FDs etc.

1. Is it advisable for my parents to apply for their visa together?

2. Must I provide them with an invitation letter ( I don't mind, just checking its importance)

3. Do you see any potential issues in the case?

4. Based on the experiences shared I am not calling my brother - is that really good or can he take a chance and show ties based on his small business started 6 months back? ( he has no tax returns or FD)

Appreciate your help.

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. That is very generic question and subjective.
4. It is very difficult for young people to get visa who don't have strong ties with home country. And I don't see strong with India, in your brother's case.

Extention Aproved

I had my I-94 extended until 30th October/08, although I left the country before I got the letter from the USCIS.
I have been in Brazil for the past 3 months, and I would like to get back to USA to visit my boyfriend.
Will I get another I-94 or Am I suppose to use this I-94 I got from the extension?
Is there any problem of me going back there after 3 months of staying in Brazil?

thanks a lot,
JM
