Parents Vistor visa Expiring, Need to renew

[srinu5526]

Hi all,

My Parents Visitor visa is getting expired in their passport this year in September 2018 , they are planning to visit us in april 2018  and will go back in  july 2018.

Question : is it better to apply for visa renewal before they travel in April  or to apply after they go back in july  ?

any idea can they do drop box since their visa is  not expired or they have to go for interview ?

when my parents got initial visa for 10 years , my dad was working for GOVT firm and now he is retired and working for a private firm does it really matter ?

and also if anybody has gone through renewal process , can they please share the required documents .

 

Appreciate your help and TIA

Its better to renew after their return in July 2018, dropbox is case by case and they may be still called for in-person based on need. Renewal should be easy as long as you have all your documents right.
