US tourist Visa for Student

[Priya Gupta 0]

Hi,

I am currently in US on L2 visa and working in a legal firm over here. I want my sister (unmarried, currently student) in India to come to the United States. My husband is on L1 visa and is sponsoring her trip.

She has a work experience in a company in India and has income tax related papers. but now, she is not employed, she left her job for further studies.

She is currently a college student and her studies will complete in April 2016, she already has a job in hand in India through college placement and will be joining from June 2016.

What are the challenges she can face for Visa approval?

She has bank account there, fixed deposits, my parents are also there in India only. She has offer letter from the current company (through college placement).

She has never travelled internationally before.

How much money is needed to be in her bank account?

Please advise.

you may place your question in the Indian Forum. Having a job is not a strong tie , people quit their jobs all the time, specially when you can make 10 times more in the US than India and you have family in the US to help you out. Her chances are not good, the US grants visas depending of the kind of passport you have , the % of rejected visa requests and the type of ties you have and your home country.

There is no such thing as a sponsor for a visitor visa. She applies on her own, and will be approved or denied based on her merit. Your visa status is irrelevant to your sister's application.

Being a student in her home country is not a strong tie. Plenty of young, single females enter the US on a visa and miraculously find a great school and try to convert to student status, or suddenly fall in love and try to adjust status. Working for dollars can far outweigh the offer letter in rupees.

No one here can guarantee anything; as a young, single applicant, her chances are slim based on your description, she can only try and find out for sure.

Thanks for the response.

She is planning to come in feb-march 2017, her post graduation will complete in 2017, doesn't it sound positive that she has to complete he education and will go back to India?

There can't be definitive answer for your question. India (like many others) as per USICS is a high fraud country when it comes to immigration like many other. there can't be a sure shot guaranteed way or methodology to follow in order to get a B2. Even after fulfilling the conditions set by the US missions abroad to get a B2, it is still a matter of pure fluke.in this case, there are more negatives than positives. no previous travel, no job, young age of the applicant are few of them but like i mentioned before, you never know the application can still be successful.no harm in trying. Also, my comments are not to discourage or berate anyone but to present truth.good luck
