Visitor Visa - Single Mother's Visa - Delhi- Win !

[itisprabhat]

Hi,
My mom (widowed) had her Visa interview today and she got through it!.
Just wanted to share this experience in case this helps anyone.

This is a cliche- but its so true- you have to- have to- show your ties in India.
Thankfully for my mom- my grandparents live with her and also my younger (unmarried brother) stays together.
Qs:
1- Whom are u going to visit there
2- Then she asked to check my VISA
3-What do u do (My mom included that apart from xyz, I also take care of my parent since they are dependent on me- i think this was a big winner)
4-How many children - I in India (who is yet to get "married") and one in US (thats me)
5-She asked- so do you live with your parents. My Mom (and i am proud of her answer) said- NO- my parents are dependent on me .They live with me.

That was it .
She got the VISA.

Hope this experience helps someone.I too learnt a lot by reading posts of other people and thought it can be a good idea to share my story.
All the best !

Prabhat

Hi itisprabhat,

Congrats for the success. My case is almost similar to you. I have few queries in my mind.

I came in USA in June this year on L1-Blanket, my duration of stay in USA is 6 months. My wife came in USA one month after I came.

Now I am planning to apply for my mother’s B2 VISA(I am sponsoring her VISA) but have some queries in my mind. She is a widow, housewife but getting 10K/month pension.

1. Do I need to get Form16 for her also (as she is getting pension)? We never paid tax for her and don’t have Form-16 currently as she is a pension holder with near 1.2L annually. I will give my Form16 for her interview.

2. Do I need to give her my documents in original or scanned copy will work? Documents like- I-134 form, my Bank statement, Bank account verification letter, letter of Invitation, Letter to Consulate etc. I mean to ask is that do I need to post(USPS) signed documents to her in India or the scanned copy will work?

3. In I-134 form question 7, can I show my India property after converting the approximate value in USD?

I would really appreciate your reply to my question as it would be very helpful to me.


Can I call and talk to you? I promise I wont bother you for long . if you are fine with it can u plz email me ur no at [email protected]?


Thank you.
