Parents self-sponsor visa question

[lostpacket]

My parents need visitor visa for US. I am on H-1B with pending case with USCIS. They will sponsor their own visa for a visit not more than 4 months. Parents have strong ties with home country.

 

 

1. How much money they need to show in their bank account ?
2. Should it cover ticket price as well ?

B2 is really self sponsoring the visa. Its mostly not about just bank account alone. They have to show that they have substantial assets and connections back in India that can support them on the visit and causes them to go back. They can get a Chartered accountant to prepare an asset statement to show what they have. 

 

If you have good enough balances in your bank here, you can offer to cover the expenses in a letter.

I have enough balances which I can show but I don't want to submit offer letter , tax returns etc.

I think I will let them self sponsor
