Confused between self-sponsor and Son-in-law sponsoring

[USAVISAQ]

Hi,

 

I am planning to get a visa for my in-laws but I am confused between asking my Father in law to self sponsor or me sponsoring the visa.

 

My father in law is a railway employee and earns Rs. 68000 per month, he has around 2-3 lakhs in liquid money, 8-10 lakhs in savings (FD & MF) and a house of his own. My mother in law is a house wife. They have a younger son (in 10th) who stays with them (in addition to my mother in laws parents)

 

I have read on the forums here that there is no such thing as sponsoring a visa but my question is specific as to whether the above financial details are enough for my father in law to self-sponsor the trip or do i need to send my financials (bank statement, pay-stubs etc) and I-134  in addition to my father in laws details.

 

I am on H1 and my wife is on H4.

 

Note: I have done some research about what documents are required, but nowhere it is mentioned about when to apply for self-sponsored or when it has to be sponsored. Also this is purely a pleasure trip and kindly do not assume about unborn babies.

As you understood there is no sponsorship involved for visitor visa. Your in-laws can get a financial statement of their assets with the help of a CA. Let them apply with their credentials. They need to convince VO of strong ties to home country in order to get a visa.

There is no sponsoring of visitor visas.

Each visitor has to qualify on his or her own.

You gave too much details for public forum. No need in my opinion.

 

Regardless of self-sponsored or getting sponsored, the risk is almost the same. But I strongly feel that the visitor visa won't be a problem for your in-laws. Reason you mentioned above regarding their savings, home, dependent son etc.

Self sponsorship is always recommended.

All B2 visa applicants must establish strong non-immigrant intent and ties to home country to overcome the presumption under §214(b) of Immigration and Nationality Act. Based on the applicant’s financial ties to home country, s/he has to provide accurate information about the person paying for the trip in the DS-160 visa application form. The consular officers generally decide the outcome of a visa application based on the information presented in DS-160 visa application and elicited at the visa interview. Should your require any assistance with your in-law’s  B2 visa application, you may feel free to consult with one of the Attorneys at Murthy Immigration Services Private Limited in Chennai, India.
