visitor visa for parents - need help

[mayank_gupta123]

Hello,

I am applying for visitor visa for my parents and from the readings so far, I have learnt that the most important point to succeed is to show that the person has economic/social ties in India and strongly willing to come back soon.

Ironically, I do not see a way to provide enough information while filing the form.

1 - My father has recently been retired from govt service and currently getting a pension from the previous employer. How do I provide this information in DS-160? If I select 'Retired' the form does not ask any further question so there is no scope of putting the pension amount.

What is the right process?

2 - The form does not ask for salary while filing previous work information. How can i provide that information?

3 - US Point of contact information: What should be filled in the organization name? Is it ok to put it 'Do not know' or should i put my organization's name in that.

Thanks a lot for your help.

That is not needed. If asked he can provide papers of properties he owns in his home country.

See above.

Either put Do not know or write N/A

Thanks a lot for your help.

Your father must submit the form from his home country (click the final submite button himself). You can write your name as person assisting in filling.
