Visitor visa documents needed at "Port of Entry"

[ArjunReddy9]

Hi All,

My Parents are visiting USA soon and I am wondering what all documents they need to get with them so that there are no issues at port of entry. Can you please advise? At this point, I am thinking the below -

 

1). My H1B extension copy

2). My Employer's verification letter

3). Letter from me inviting my parents and mentioning that I will bear all the costs

4). My 6 month bank statements

5). Round trip tickets print out

6). Insurance print out

 

Please let me know if I need to add anything else to these.

 

Thanks

None of your stuff (H1, employer letter, etc.) matters.

They need to have a return ticket.

They need a passport and visa. Very rarely they may be asked for the return tickets. Anything else is NOT necessary and may cause them unnecessary aggravation and delay. Tourist visas are NEVER sponsored. The biggest hurdle is getting the visa.

Hmm, that of course can result in a denial of entry. Visitors have to have the intent to return to their home country.

Thanks for all ur replies but I am little confused. They will return back of course but my sister wants to sponsor green card for them. Is that wrong?

Yes. Visitors can not have immigration intent.
