H1 Sponsoring Visitor Visa for parents.

[hps1981]

Hi,

I am on H1b & my H1 is valid till Sept 2014. I am planning to apply visitor visa for my parents. They are Indian Citizens & this will be their first stamping for US.

Please answer my questions:

Q1. If visa got approved any idea how much visa will be issued ?

i.e. 6 Months / 1 year / 10 Year Multiple.

Q2. I know I have to show my bank balance but do my parents need to show any bank balance other than property papers ?

I will appreciate if someone can answer my concerns.

thanks,

Hps

No one can reliably predict the duration of the visa. Your parents should pay for their own trip if possible.

No one can predict the visa duration that will be given. But most people get 10 yr multiple entry visa.

If your parents have any bank accounts/deposits and properties, they have to carry them. They usually question about your parents' profession and the money they earn locally.
