Visa for siblings graduation cum a mini vacation
Hey guys,
My sister is going to USC for LLM and is expected to graduate next year.
I need some guidance on how exactly should I go about with the application to obtain the visa for the purpose of attending her graduation as well as a mini vacation following that. Also, I'm planning to go solo.
I've got a couple of concerns which is why I'm posting it here on the forum.
1) I'm 20 years old and just entered my last year of Engineering in India I really feel the officer would reject my application thinking I'd stay back since I'd technically be 'unemployed' at the time of my travel.
Question : My parents can't travel since my grandparents are bed-ridden and also somewhat due to financial constraints. But, they might even decide to travel. Can't say for sure right now though. Even if they are not planning to travel, should i make any one of them apply in order to increase my chances of getting the VISA? Also, should I ask my sister to send me a letter as a formal invite?
2) My father's income is about 5L a year. However, we can surely adjust bank deposits upto 10 L or so since we have good amount of shares, government bonds, a couple of properties. But, the later two are in the name of my grandfather.
Question : Should I have the bank deposit of 10 L in my account or dad's account?
3) I've got about $3000 of travel credits from which I can finance my flights, hotels and activities.
Question : When they ask me how I'm going to finance my trip, should I tell them that? Or Should I stick to my dad is going to sponsor my trip?
4) I plan to travel for about a month (mid May'20-June'20) and was thinking about applying around September/October so that I can score flights for a cheaper rate.
Question : When should I apply for the visa? If I apply around the months I'm planning, wouldn't that be some kind of a suspicion?
If I plan to apply in December and they issue it for 6 months, I'll have to cut short my trip to a maximum of 15 days.
Looking forward to responses which could help me out with my dilemma.
Thanks a lot in advance
