Recommended Posts

I am on H1B visa. Its expiring on June 2017.My employer has filled H1B extension and its under normal processing.
I would like to invite my parents on B2 visa for 3 months duration. 
My father is a Teacher and Self Employed Farmer. He is getting retired on 31May 2017.
I am planning to take Parents Visa interview date in May 2017 (Before Retiretment Date).

Property - My father has farm ,own house and lands in India.
Family background - I have one sister and she is married,settled in India.My mother is Housewife.


In DS160 form=>  work/education/training section =>  Primary occupation what option i need to select for primary occupation to avoid  rejection ?
My parents are planning to go back to India after 3 months visit to USA.  How can i show strong ties to India in DS160 ?? 

Below are possible options i am seeing for work/education/training section to how strong ties to India

If I select Retired option then he can show Retirement letter during interview saying that I am getting retired on 31May 2017.
 I am thinking Retired option will become weak case  for my parent visitor visa approval because i can't show My father farm/land property in DS160 which will make strong ties to India

If I select Education=>Teacher option then my father can't get NOC letter due to retirement date. He will have employment letter to show during interview.
Can i choose Primary Occupation => Other  option and mention Teacher and Self Employed Farmer so that i can write all Farm/House/Land details in Other => specify text box in DS160 ??
