Visitor visa

[riakushi]

I am a US citizen, we wish to apply for a visitor visa for my Mother at the Chennai consulate, what are the documents I need to send from here to get her visa approved?

My mother was previously approved for a visitors' visa (expires next month), while I was on H1B.

Pls send in your suggestions and list of documents needed.

Thanks,
Ria

You send nothing. She needs to qualify for the visa on her own.

Since she has had a US visa, it becomes easier to get a new visa approved. She should explain who she will be visiting, for how long and how she plans to pay for the trip. She should also show string ties to India (employment, properties, family ties, etc.)

If you have more information regarding her specific travel plans in the US, you may write a letter addressed to US consulate detailing possible plans. Other than this letter, nothing else is required from you for her visa application.
