H1B I94 validity for sponsoring B2 visa

[nitin4unme]

 Hi,

 

I would be really grateful if someone can answer my question. My I94 is expiring in October 2015 but my I 797 is valid till October 2017. I have applied for B2 visa for my parents and their interview is scheduled in mid June 2015.

 

What are chances of visa getting rejected due to my I94 expiring in October. THey will be will travelling in October. My employer has started the process to extend the I94 but it will take some time(probably 2-3 months). Should I postpone the parents interview till I get the new dates. What other options do I have?

 

 

 

Thanks

 

Nitin

As long as you stay out of picture their visas will be granted based on their merits. There is no sponsorship for a visitor visa as it is meant for tourism.

Your I-94 will not determine the outcome of your parents visa. You are good. Let them go for stamping in June.

My H1B visa & I-94 is expiring in Oct 2015 (filing H1B extension in June 2015), & my mom received Visitor visa for 10 years at Mumbai Consulate on 26th May. I was sponsoring my Mom trip as per Form DS-160. I don't think your expiring I-94 has anything to do with your parents visitor visa outcome.

 

If asked "Why you want to visit US?"  Answer : To meet our son & tourism purpose (keep it simple). They might ask couple of places name where they plan to visit for tourism purpose.

 

If either have active job, good Bank Saving/ FDs & couple of properties in India, let them sponsor themselves. But, they'll still need to disclose about their son in US as per Form DS-160. If you have younger sibling in India, staying with parent - will work in your favor.

Make sure they will able to answer all questions regarding you.

 

1. What you do in US - Which company & job position & joining year? Visa type?

2. Your birth-date? Current address in US? Marital status etc?
