I am thinking of calling my parents here in usa on visitor visa.  your input on required documents information will be appreciated.  My status is H1.  thanks.

AAAA, please check this website, hopefully this will help you. http://this.isfrom.us/pages/parents-invitation or simply google it. There are so many blogs related to the parents invitation.

So far I know, following documents are needed:

• Letter to Embassy asking the consular to issue visitor visa to your parents
• Invitation Letter to Parents
• Affidavit of Support (I-134)
• A Certificate showing your relation to your parents (with pictures)
• Employment Letter (with your salary, bonuses, when you started working with them etc.)
• Bank Statement (ask bank to provide you a letter for immigration purpose)
• Tax Return Documents (If you have filed any)
• Copies of recent Pay Stubs (Probably 3-4 pay stubs)
• Copy of H1-B Documents (not sure if original is required or a copy will work)

Your parents will have to show the evidence that they have strong family ties in Nepal and will return back after the visit in interview.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Notorized  I-134

My parents recently received a 5 year multiple visa recently. This is what I submitted:

• Letter to Embassy asking the consular to issue visitor visa to your parents
• Invitation Letter to Parents
• Notarized Affidavit of Support (I-134)
• Employment Letter (salary, start date, title)
• Bank Statement
  
• Tax Return Documents (last 2  years)
  
• Copies of recent Pay Stubs (last 2 pay stubs)
• Copy of H1-B

It seemed like they did look at these documents before the interview. They also asked if I had been back to Nepal after my visit.

Don't worry, submit all the documents and you'll be fine.

thank you all.  you guys are awesome. 

plz send copy of driver licence also it will be helpful.

hello trek,

do we need two letters as you mentioned above i) invitation letter and ii) letter to US embassy?  would you mind sharing letter format?  thanks

A tax return document is either a 1040EZ,  or a 1040 with schedules A and B.

These forms are printed on green, blue, or pink paper.

 

My parent's just got visa to come here. All I send them was a letter of invitation. Tax return for last year and a letter from my employer stating how long I have worked here.And they got a five year multiple entry B1/B2 visa.

invitation letter format?  did you mention the purpose of their visit? 

I just stated that they are coming to see their grand children, and I enclosed the above documents.

I send following papers.

1) Employment verification`

2) Financial affidavit

   (bank balance)

3) Letter to US emabssy , requesting for issuance of visa stating that I will bear all the cost during the visit.

And she is here.

Good luck. Enjoy the happy time.
