Visitor Visa- Sponsor or visitor

[nirmaladrajesh]

I am planning to move to the US and start in mid July. My parents are planning to come to the US in August end. They are both retired and earn a monthly pension. I will be funding their trip/stay to the US. What type of tourist visa is advisable - a sponsor or visitor ?

Is there a minimum period of stay required before I can sponsor them?
Can they apply for a tourist visa as a visitor and still state that their trip is being funded?

There is only one type of tourist visa, B2 - visitor visa.

As long as one can show enough money, visa can be self-sponsored or by someone in US.

As long as you can show enough money, there is no limit regarding how long you have to stay in US before sponsoring relatives.

I don't think your father has to mention that he is coming to US to drop his grand daughter. That is irrelevant.

He should say he is coming to US for tourism.
