Tourist visa for my wife's father and her step mother

[little_tongya]

hello all,

My in-laws have appointmnet at Chennai consulate on Nov 18 for tourist visa. This is the situation.

My father in-law remarried after my real mother in-laws death and willing to visit US on tourist visa alongwith my mother in-law, who is step mother to my wife.

My wife's passport and birth certificate shows deceased mother's name.

My father in-law do not have marriage certificate for later wedding, which he eventually trying to grab.

So how do we tackle this situation...

In addition to this, what does this mean

"Dependents joining their spouse on-board ship need to carry their original marriage certificate and entire wedding photo album along with the spouse’s visa copy."

Please let us know...


Thanks,
