I am getting married in June '05 in Maryland, USA. I need to get the visitors visas for my future mother-in-law, and brother in law. My future husband is an H-1 holder and i a a natural born citizen. My biggest concern is that my brother in law (unmarried, 24 years in age) was a first bcom then masters in IT and is working with a company in banglore. He has no plans to immigrate here but would just like to visit us and attend our marriage. both my fiance and I will be devastated if his mother and brother cannot make it. I would like to know which is the best way to approach the visa office.
here is my info.
1. They are applying in Chennai Councilate
2. My father is is a naturalized citizen for 20+ years who has sponsered people for visa before (who have all gone back to india and not immigrated here).) i do not have exact dates these petitions were filed but i do have years and months. He is also more financially established.
3. There is a name discrepency on my fiance's documents. His H-1 approval (I-797, i think...) documents and credit cards ALL have his correct name. BUT his multi-entry visa and passport have his name backwards, meaning his first name is his last name..(i.e. Shenoy Raj instead of Raj Shenoy). Will this cause problems?
4. His mother and brother will be staying with my father and he will be covering all of their expenses.
3.I have already had a registered marriage. But my future husband has not filed for green card as of yet.
4. My brother in laws name appears as a partner in his fathers company which is now being run by fathers younger brothers.
5. All land is in their late fathers name.
6. I have a letter from a senator (that metions the marriage)
7. I will get a letter from the pandit stating that they are required for the marriage.
My questions are.
1. Who should sponser them??
1.Should they say they is coming for the marriage or just for a visit?
2.Should my brother in law show that he works for the banglore IT company or should he put the family business?
3. if my fiance is not the sponser, Should i ask him to also provide an afidavit as to why he is not sponsering them. with all his details?
4. My father has an electrical contracting company. (but brother in law never did engineering. he was bcom then comp sci. ) will this be a problem?
5. Besides what the consulate asks for what other information should i provide to help ensure that they get the visa?
Any help you can give me will be GREATLY GREATLY Appreciated.
Take care,
pathli
