Hi Guys, My husband & I are planning to sponsor tourist visa for my parents to come to USA. We started gathering all the documents that's needed such as:

 

*Letter of Invitation

*Our Bank Statements

*Employment & Pay Stub Copies 

*Tax Returns

 

Is there anything that's missing on our end? 

Would you guys share some experience with your sponsorship..

Thank you & have a great day!

No such thing as sponsoring a tourist visa. None of that is necessary, each applicant must satisfy the CO that they will return home after their visit, and qualify on their own merits.

Hi there,

 

when it comes to Tourist Visa there is no real thing as 'sponsorship'...

 

Your parents would have to show ties to their home country. If it helps, the consular officer wants to see what they have in their home country to return to. If you send your pay stubs, the consular officer may see it as your parents going to the USA on a tourist visa and never returning home (which may end up in a denial).

 

check with some of the local forums specific to your country for some better answers :) and good luck !!

First off, you don't supply anything. Everything that is required comes from the applicant. Google sample DS-160 to see what the visa request looks like. And be honest :)
