Employee99 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi everyone, I am applying for visitor visa for my parents. I am sponsoring them. I have scheduled interview for them in December last week. There are 2 issues with the names in the passports. My mother has her spouse name 1 letter "A" missing in her passport. Instead of ''VENKATA" , her passport has "VENKAT" as she got her passport according to her voter ID. Will that cause an issue during the interview ? My passport has father name spelt wrong.1 letter "A" missing in my passport. Instead of ''VENKATA" , my passport has "VENKAT" as I got her passport according to my certificates. Will this cause an issue during the interview? Will preparing an affidavit that both "VENKATA" and "VENKAT" names are referring to the same person will work during the interview if visa officer asks about this? Could someone help me with this? Thanks. Thanks, Ranjit Quote Link to comment
ashuneel Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Technically you cannot apply for visitor visa for anyone. You cannot sponsor visitor visa for them. They need to apply themselves and schedule interviews. 1. should not be a problem. If she is comfortable with the misspelling using names as shown in passport is the simplest way. She can carry the voter id card as reference if questioned about mismatch. 2. your passport should not be an issue at their interview. 3. Affidavit can be prepared by your mother but do not volunteer any information not asked by VO. Quote Link to comment
Employee99 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks Ashuneel for the replying. Yes they applied visitor visa but I helped filling all the forms (online profile, DS-160, payment of fees). So you mean they should not take Form I-134 to the interview? Thanks, Ranjit Quote Link to comment
ashuneel Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 They can take I -134 to the interview which needs to completed by You. NO need to get it notarized. Remember it is only a supporting document and not a sponsorship letter and can be shown if asked. Above all they need to prove strong cultural and financial ties to home country on their own.
