parents visitor visa step by step procedure

[nileshborade]

Hello friends,
I am planning to invite my parents this year. I was wondering is there any post in here which tells you step by step procedure to schedule visa interview?

I want to schedule an Interview for my parents with Marathi interpretor in Mumbai counsulate. Is it possible?

Waiting period for appointment date with Marathi interpretor?

Documents needed to schedule an interview? Can I do it online? Can I pay online?

Amount needed to be shown in bank balance for both the parents is $10000 ok?

Thanks a lot.

You must have good annual income to support your parents.

1. You must pay the fee first, in order to be able to setup an appointment.
Fee can be paid only via visitong a HDFC bank.
Here is list of bank branchces and process.

b. Read abt setting an appointment

While setting an online appointment you can select an interpreter.

- Bank balance of 10,000$ is good.

Hi,

I have set up an online appointment for my parents at the Mumbai consulate. However I did not see any option to select the language or interpreter preferences. Did I miss something or they can get an interpreter on the day of the interview.

If there is any way that can be changed please let me know.

Your replies are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
