murlitraveler Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hello folks - My parents have a visitor visa valid till 2018. This visitor visa was stamped based on my H1 visa back in 2008. However, my H1 visa has expired and am in India. My parents want to travel to US in upcoming months to visit my sister/their daughter. I wanted to know if my parent's visitor visa is still valid or do we have to go through the visa process all over again. Please le me know. Thanks. Link to comment

Your H1 is no way related to your parents visiting visa. Your H1 effects only your dependents( H4). Link to comment
omshiv Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Your parents visitors visa is NOT based on your H1. They can travel regardless. Note this trip should not to help their daughter in pregnancy or babysit their grandchild..it should purely be for travel/leisure Link to comment
jairichi Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 You have a wrong notion. Your parents' visitor visa has nothing to do with your H1B visa. It is independent of anyone. Your parents visa is valid till 2018 and so they can visit your sister anytime. Link to comment
chakrakr Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Note this trip should not to help their daughter in pregnancy Do you claim to know more than Attorneys of Murthy firm ? Or US Embassys ? Oops ! I forgot you paid for your PERM :) Link to comment
omshiv Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Do you claim to know more than Attorneys of Murthy firm ? Or US Embassys ? Oops ! I forgot you paid for your PERM :) you have read in this same forum that parents have been rejected visitor visa when officers found out that they are coming here for baby sitting. Link to comment
chakrakr Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 you have read in this same forum that parents have been rejected visitor visa when officers found out that they are coming here for baby sitting. Wow! Can you post the link ? I challenged your assertion on helping in pregnancy. And if forum posts are your "source of truth", I guarantee I will show you posts where people got visa after mentioning the P word. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 you have read in this same forum that parents have been rejected visitor visa when officers found out that they are coming here for baby sitting. Baby sitting is different from help a daughter during the pregnancy. Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Baby sitting is different from help a daughter during the pregnancy. Both are work. Link to comment
chakrakr Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Both are work. Then the attorney who said "they view it as ok to come help/support a daughter immediately before/after having a baby" must be wrong ! ..

rahul412 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Both are work. So the moral support is WORK?? Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 So the moral support is WORK?? Please don't put words into my mouth. Babysitting and helping a daughter during pregnancy are both work. Link to comment
omshiv Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 So the moral support is WORK?? Moral support??? So if the mom goes to work as soon the baby is delivered and the granny takes care of the baby its called Moral support? Link to comment
chakrakr Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Please don't put words into my mouth. Babysitting and helping a daughter during pregnancy are both work. So when are you challenging Attorney_6 who says helping a daughter during pregnancy is allowed on B2 ? Also, why should "show us the law" apply only to lesser mortals like us and not to you ? More so, when you are trying to prove an immigration attorney wrong Link to comment
rahul412 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Please don't put words into my mouth. Babysitting and helping a daughter during pregnancy are both work. Just show me the proof. I will agree with you. Link to comment
omshiv Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 my replies are not being posted although there is no harsh content. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Please don't put words into my mouth. Babysitting and helping a daughter during pregnancy are both work. Assuming that helping a daughter during pregnancy is work, what's the title of that person according to DOL?? Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Just show me the proof. I will agree with you. The INA. Link to comment
chakrakr Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The INA. Excellent proof . Now I am saying someone on B2 visa can help her pregnant daughter and the proof -- is "the US Constitution". Go figure :) OR someone will say an H4 wife cannot cook for her husband and point to INA -- Oh! H4 are not allowed to work . Bottom line, there is nothing in INA which says helping a pregnant daughter is not allowed on B2 and JoeF has NO such reference. Whenever he has a valid reference in support of his argument , he publish it in toto with source. A reference to "The INA" shows there is NOTHING, NADA , ZILCH reference. Contrary to this , an Attorney in this very forum has said it is allowed . Also US Consulates says that it is a valid reason for a B2 visa .... search and you will find. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The INA. Just INA? Is that the proof?? BTW what's the name of the job title for 'helping the daughter', which according to INA is work? Link to comment
