also, my brother is gonna support them.   No, not a thing for B visas.
(Do they need to carry my, my siblings and my brothers birth certificates to prove the relationship?)   Nope.  That is not a thing.

 

also, if they need to carry their marriage documents too? No.  Why would they?  People who hope to travel for VACATION to the US do not normally carry vital records.  If they do, it is a red flag, and for good reason.  

 

If your parents are truly traveling as visitors, why would they bring such documents?  If you want them to live here, petition them for visas properly.
  

im not sure. 
thanks in advance

It is taking nearly a year to get a B visa appointment at the consulates in Pakistan.

That is not a department of state website.  There is no sponsorship for tourist visas.

 

Applicants must qualify for the visa on their own, based on their ties to home.

I never said it's a department of state website I used this website to sponsor my parents and they got the visa. Obviously they have to prove their ties by showing property papers and I on the other hand provided a letter that I'll be financing their whole trip and they both got the visa

Correlation is not causation.

you filled out a form, your parents got a visa. You have no way of knowing if your form made the slightest bit of difference. Chances are it did not, in fact. Their ties to their home country would have been the most important factor according to the official website.

This Rumor Just does not die, you cant sponsor for a visitors visa. Just because you live in the US does not mean, you can sponsor a visitors visa. Not with all the money in the world.

I never mentioned that my form or what ever was mentioned in it had influenced the decision of the visa officer in any way. I am stating my experience that they both got the visa that's why I also mentioned they had to take their property papers and my letter of financing their whole trip with them at the time of interview.

You bring what you need to bring to support your case

 

Every Embassy or Consulate has their own rules or guidelines they follow

Of cause they will. That's why letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support has no impact on visitor's visa because they'll interpret the law correctly.
