They have to fill the DS-160 application online individually and after that can pay the fee as a group. From your side to make there case strong need evidence like your US passport scan copy of the first page along with your bank statement and tax returns and mortgage or lease doc and invitation letter and wedding card. And from there side to show close ties to there country provide the bank statement, Property doc and if students then provide Educational doc along with university or school evidence letter etc. 

Complete rubbish.

Assurances from any US friends or family have no role int he tourist visa process. The same for an invitation letter, affidavit of support, etc. They aren't concerned about why you are coming to the US, but why you are compelled to leave it on time and without violating status (i.e. working). Nothing noted in the quote above provides a reason to return home (except maybe the letter from a university that they are due back for a semester).

 

Note that COs rarely even look at documentation for a tourist visa except in borderline cases.

This is not accurate info.

Wow!! Thank you so much! This was very helpful!

@Chea

 

Please be advised that your financial documents will have no impact on securing a visa for your family. @Muhammadarman may have meant well, but his/her post was full of misinformation. It is a huge misconception for many people to believe that. You can help your family prepare with filling out the DS-160, but that is the extend of your involvement. Visas are issued purely on the applying person's ties to their own country. Not ties to family in the US.

 

We know you want to help your family but think about what Muhammadarman is suggesting for a moment. Since when do people need to send in mortgage documents to go on vacation? Did you need to send in tax returns to the Turkish government in order to go visit your fiance in his country?

 

ETA: Please see the link @SusieQQQ posted from the official government website stating that any of the documents from you are not considered.

If guys first of all I did not provide rubbish information may be my explanation was not good.

1. Information about the host.
2. Show close ties to your country that you will not stay more than six months like a business, study or family members in own country.
3. http://www.ustraveldocs.com/pk/pk-niv-typeb1b2.asp and as per US site to Pakistani.
4. My aunt got her B1/B2 visa same way as I try to explain above she used her bank statement, property doc along her USC brother passport copy, house doc etc.  Her brother mentions that she is coming to see her newborn son with his birth certificate. She also applied for her both daughters but CO said first she will go to the States and return back then he will give a visa to her both daughters and he did.
5. Her tie to her country was her both daughters were studying that time and her husband did not apply for the visa.   
6. And if anyone still thinks I try to give rubbish i can show you the visas.

So you’re saying that the offical US department of state page is wrong, are you? Can you give a valid reason as to why a poster should listen to you rather than the offical US government information?

 

you're making the classic mistake of thinking that just because you showed stuff like the USC’s passport it made any difference. The only thing that mattered is your number 2. How do I know? Because I got 4 tourist visas before I immigrated, and I never showed most of the stuff you talk about. The only stuff I ever showed was my own ties back home, because that is all they care about. I can show you my visas, too.

The information about supply supporting documents from people who will provide financial support is under the Supporting Documents for Applicants Seeking Medical Care section of the link provided. Nowhere else does it state that mortgage documents or tax returns for those filing for visitor visas are required (or even suggested).

 

Your aunt got approved because she proved to the CO that she was not a threat to remain in the US. Just because she was successful does not mean it was because her brother provided those documents. That is like saying, I wore a blue tie to my interview so I got approved. So anyone who wears a blue tie is now going to believe it was the reason. 

 

You aunt got approved because she was successful in showing the CO that she had a reason to return to her country. NOT because of those documents her brother provided. Her brother's documents were purely coincidental.

 

Again, there are no official US government website that states that a person applying for a visitor visa must have financial documents from a relative in the US to be granted a visitor visa.

Nope. They don't need any document from the OP. The tourist visa is all about THEIR ties to their home country. Not the OP's ties to the US.

My mother had her tourist visa a few years ago and she never had to show any document. taxes, etc from me. It was all about her.

 Muhammadarman is not giving the correct advice here. Please listen to the people who are telling you to follow the US Department of State guidelines.

 Bolded part is what got her the visa. The rest? I seriously doubt it. 

 

Your post is like a lottery winner saying s/he became rich because:

 

1. S/he worked hard

2. S/he got an excellent education

3. S/he married well.

4. S/he was frugal and prudent with his/her money.

5. S/he won $500 million playing the lottery.

 

1-4 are generally irrelevant, while 5 is the certain reason.

Agreed with the above...whether one provided documents or not was not material to decision rendered by the CO. Just because somebody provided them and had success doesn't mean they had any impact on the result.

My family applied for tourist visa for my wedding last November in US embassy in Manila.  And yes each of them had to fill in DS-160 separately. Yet their interview was in group. Most of the questions were asked to my dad. My sister was only asked about her school and no questions were asked to my mom.😅

Fortunately they were approved with the tourist visa.

you are 100% right but lease or mortgage doc and tax return are extra things but as per US official site they ask if you are visiting your relative 

Visiting a relative

Bring photocopies of your relative's proof of status (e.g. Green Card, naturalization certificate, valid visa, etc).

If a person wants to show he will financially support his immediate relatives like father or brother etc while his or her stay in the USA ???

It doesn't matter what a person wants to show. It matters what the CO wants to see.

How is their ability to financially support them material to the tourist visa? They have no obligation to do so (even with a signed I-134 since it's not enforceable).
