Hi,

You have not included any evidence of *strong ties* per se.... also no evidence to show that his business is actively trading.


1. Business bank account: 6 months statements..... not just the personal bank account
2. Profit-Loss statement/ Audit statement prepared by a CA
3. Latest VAT Returns
4. Any other proofs to show his business is actively trading: For example, orders, payments, purchase receipts, etc
5. Office lease agreement (based on your other post) + 2-3 months rent payments

I would not leave it to the visa officer to guess that the kids are not accompanying him and his wife. You must state it clearly + attach evidence. Im guessing they live in a joint family. So are your parents dependent on them?

Valuation of the property will be a good idea. Either self-valuation or by a CA. Do include supporting documents from Times Property/property realty to back the CA/self-valuation market rates.


1. What is the purpose of their visit?
2. One month is too long. Keep the visit to 2-3 weeks max. Who will manage the business in his absence.... and who will take care of the kids?
3. Does he have any employees?
4. Do they have credit cards? Good credit limits, low dues?
5. Any financial investments (FDs, RDs, shares, mutual funds, etc)?
6. Is your sister-in-law employed or helps in the business?
7. Do they have any previous travel history?
8. Any reason for them to return by a specific date?


Cheers

Hi,

For his business:
Shop Act License + Service Tax registration + Service Tax Returns (even if it is 'Nil' returns) + Profit-Loss statements by a certified CA + evidence of courier contracts with companies/institutions + 6 months business bank statements


Regarding his employee:
Employment letter + 2-3 months salary payments + Profession Tax certificate + Profession Tax payment (showing payment made for 1+1 employee)
State that the employee will manage temporarily for 2-3 weeks + your brother must return to take care of his business/pay salary and other payments.


For the kids:
Evidence that they live at the same address (birth certificates or school address proofs) + school tuition fees paid for the current academic year + state they will stay with your sister-in-law temporarily when your brother is away.

How old are the kids?


Purpose of visit:
Prepare a day-by-day itinerary listing tourist places , visiting family/friends.... with expense estimates.... and he must prove that he can pay for this itinerary + airfare for himself and his wife


You cannot include FDs which are owned by you. Only FDs which are owned by your brother and/or jointly by him and his wife.
Any financial investments? LIC policies?


Is their house mortgaged?
Hope none of the money in their bank accounts has been borrowed/transferred for the visa applications.


IMO their case is not strong. You must think of a reason for them to return by a specific date with evidence (wedding in the immediate family, some legal/financial/business reason, etc)


Cheers
