Visitor Visa for MIL and FIL

[SimAsh 0]

Hey all, my wife and I want to invite her parents to visit us in states. My wife is house wife and I work full time for defense contractor. We have been thinking about taking some time off my work in October and going to Disney World, New York and Tennessee. So, we were thinking we can have her parents come with us on this mini vacation and they also get to see their grandson, who will be 2 year in August. My MIL is teacher in India and my FIL is retired from work. My MIL have tried for visitor visa once before but they rejected her request. My wife will have her three year anniversary in November but we don't want to wait till she becomes citizen and then another year before they will be here. We were wondering if you all have any advice on what different I should do from last time or anything.... I was also wondering if I should prepare a letter from my employer showing that I have got that time as approved time off from employer to go on vacation and may be trip plan. any ideas/advice?

The visitor visas are about the applicants. A letter from your employer has zero value.

The best advice is for your parents to show why they would return to India after a brief visit to the US. Do not load the applications with why they want to visit the US and the wonderful people who could adjust and sponsor them for green cards.

The visitor visa applications should focus on your parents. You should not provide too much info about you.

Thanks aaron. We will be applying for their permenant visa once my wife becomes USC. But that is still probaby year away so we thought we might have them try visitor visa just so they can come and see the States. I thought since we are going to be visiting Disney World and couple of other places it might help but I see your point. Thanks
