  • American sponsoring visitor visa for a friend

    Hi,

    I would like to sponsor my Indian friend to visit the US.

    Can I scan and email the necessary documents to him, rather than send by mail?

    Also, I am an American citizen, born in America, and it wasn’t clear to me from your site if I need just one form of proof, or more than one. Can I just send a copy of the main page of my passport? Or do I need to send copies of all pages? And is just passport enough, or do I need to give other documents to prove I am American.

    Thank you so much in for all the helpful info you have provided on your site.

    'Sponsoring" in the context of a visitor visa usually means funding the trip, which means sending an I-134
    ( affidavit of support, financial staements along with a copy of your passport).

    Are you funding your friend's trip to US or are you just inviting him? Showing funding for a working age person is usually
    counterproductive as it shows that the applicant cannot support the trip himself . That can cause a denial.

    Also, a successful outcome will depend on his ties to India( strong income, stable job, marital status)
    rather than a sponsorship from an American friend.

      Yes, I meant scanning to email the I-134, bank statements, pay stubs, letter from bank, letter of invitation, letter from employer, etc

      He doesn't have job in India but has all his family and friends there.

      He does not have the means to pay for the trip but I do. And I will take all responsibility. Isn't that good enough?

        Also, is it better or worse to say that he is my boyfriend?
