B2 for parent accompanying H1B

[Eliza Chelleng]

Hi,
I will be travelling to US with H1B visa for first time with my child. I am planning to take my father with me to stay for few months.
Could you please help me with the following doubts:

1. As I wont be having any US Bank account at that time, will be Indian bank account suffice?
2. Will I need a separate invitation letter from someone staying in US?

Thanks and regards,
Eliza

You can do the paperwork online, and schedule their interviews. This shouldn't be a problem. It should be easy for your parents to get it as they probably have a home, jobs, property, etc... in your home country. For your gf it might be a little easier if she has a job or is studying. If she can get a letter from her employer, stating that she's been working there for whatever amount of time, it would help her a lot.

If they can show any documents that prove their ties to their home country, then there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Hope this helps.
