Hi Folks
Before I write my question, let me thank everyone for their help. You guys are outstanding.
My question or dilemma is regarding the following question and as to what should we write while applying for my parents visitor visa.
DS160 question - Who is going to pay for your US trip? - Should be put myself (that means my parents wil pay for their trip) Or put 'my son' - that will be me sponsoring them for the trip.
Also what is the correct interpretation of the question - is the question only regarding paying for the tickets or is it implying the expense of entire trip.
The reason I have a confusion here because my Dad is retired and they have income from pension and investments but not sure if that would be sufficient or how will it be perceived by the consulate - Which I know that no one knows. So I'm kind of wondering if we show my parents paying for their trip or show that I would be taking care of the entire trip.
Background
My parents have visited US 3 times before - twice after my dad's retirement but they did not have to go for visa since they had 10 yrs multiple.
There total asset might be sufficient but again not sure because he does not have recurring income except pension.
This is sort of a renewal of visitor visa. They have obtained the visitor visa stamp twice before in last 13 yrs.
Hope I am clear enough. It's kind of difficult to explain this confusion.
Your responses and sharing of your experiences are greatly appreciated.
