FINANCIAL PROOF for a housewife applying for visitor visa

[nevillek]

I, as an international student, am applying for a TRV for my mother to come visit me for 6 weeks. Now, my mother is a housewife but she does have saving bank accounts on her OWN name with funds in them. Also, she has a joint account with my father (who is working in US) where he remits the money back home.

So I am wondering what financial proof I should show from these below:

a) Mother's saving bank a/c balances and FDs
b) Joint remittance Indian bank a/c of mother and father
c) Father's US bank a/c statement in US
d) Father's US income tax returns
e) My Canadian bank a/c statement

I think a) is enough but I'm not sure... Please help.. thanks

a) to d)

a) to d)

Why is father's stuff required? Besides, we don't have enough time for father's documents to be mailed.

well since your mother is a housewife, your father's statements will show that the family has a regular income not just money at the bank.

But the remittance a/c would show that anyway.

If your schedule is tight. Just send a printout of your father's e-bank statements.
When I applied from the US this year. I included print outs of my overseas accounts.

What about his tax returns? Do you think that's necessary? Thanks.

Also, I think that showing father's stuff will trigger unnecessary attention to the US angle here.

You can leave his tax returns out.
