Visitor visa for Parents

[Naturgrl]

Thank you for the response. I want to make my mother the principal applicant but the thing is that my father is paying for the trip as my mother is a house wife. What should I do in this situation?

So is your father not coming? What are her ties to home county? You can include your father’s accounts. Where does she live? What is your status?

No my father is coming as well but the reason I am making my mother the principal applicant is that I am expecting and I want my parents specially my mother to come. I am on PGWP.

If it isn’t your mother’s funds then father should be principal. If you only want your mother, then she applies on her own. Where does she live? Does she have travel history, ties to home country if no job?

She lives in Pakistan and ties to home country are my siblings who are dependent

So your siblings are under 22. She has no economic ties like a job. You can try applying for both of your parents and see what happens or apply for only one to show ties.

Ok thank you. No she has no job and one of my siblings is under 22. I'll apply for both my parents. I hope they get visa

Processing is an about 4 months so if refused then they will have to reassess.

@IF321 Did you endup getting visitor visa for them? If so, what was the approach that you followed differently the second time? I am in a similar boat and your response is much appreciated.

What did you do differently the second time which resulted in the approval?

Parents showed more funds and from our end we also showed more funds. We applied after 4 months. The key is applicants should show enough money to cover the expenses.

@IF321 I am in USA and would like to transfer money from my Indian bank account to their Indian bank account too. My understanding is that I need to execute a gift deed. As I am in USA, can a simple notary would be sufficient intead of gift deed?

Showing a large influx of cash between applications is not particularly helpful. It is clear that it is not their own savings.
