Hi,
My wife is pregnant , due this October; doctor confirmed us that we are having Twins & I am half excited & half worried. Wanted to bring in my in-laws (both) during that time frame to help me out here. I am very new to this forum & I would appreciate all your advices/ experiences /suggestions for the following questions?
Background:
Currently filed I-485 (Oct 2002) & working on my work-permit, as 6 years of H1B limit is completed last year. The VISA on my passport is expired too. My wife also works and had also received her work-permit and moreover her H1-B is still valid until next year, but the VISA on her passport is expired.
Q) From the above-scenario, which of us is more eligible to sponsor for my in-laws/parents? Last year my wife sponsored for my grandmother & she was issued a VISA for 3 months only.
Q) My in-laws are of ages 56/52 & I am planning to request them both to visit us, Will there be any problems if both of them applies for visas at the same time at Chennai consulate? OR Will it be easy if I ask my mother-in-law to apply first and once she gets the visa ask my father-in-law to apply next. ? I am very much confused as what to tell them?
Just for info – my father-in-laws works for central government & my mother-in-law is a teacher (but listed as a housewife in Indian passport). Has a brother-in-law who is studying there in Chennai.
Q) What is the time frame that we are looking here, incase a visitor Visa gets rejected and the applicant had to reapply? Is there any limit defined by Chennai U.S Embassy rules that in a calendar year that a person could apply this many times only?
Q) If I wanted my in-laws to visit us in September. Is it advisable if I request my in-laws to apply for VISA may be in next month? How early could they apply if I wanted them to visit in september?
Q) What documents am I supposed to send to my in-laws for them to visit us here in U.S on visitor (B1) Visa? . Is there any link that explains all the necessary documents that Chennai consulate is particularly looking at? I don’t think I can send them my H1B as it is expired?
All your help will be greatly appreciated and Thanks a million.!!!
