I came here with K1 visa and got married right after I arrived. But we'll have the ceremony in August next year and thinking of inviting my parents to come over. My questions are: 1), Will it be difficult for them to obtain the visa? 2) What documents should my parents and I prepare? 3) How long will it take them to get the visa? Do we have enough time if we start it right now?

Pinned at the top of the general visa forum is an excellent guide on helping parents obtain a visitor's visa.

I think the key is to demonstrate your parents' strong ties to China. The following documents help:

 

- their income situation: salary, income, etc.

- your siblings' situation;

- your parent's properties, and other information about their financial status.

 

The key is to show that they are inclined to return after a short visit.

 

It would be good to write a short letter of invitation. Summarize the visiting plan and intention of returning.

 

Different from immigrant visas, when applying for a visitor visa, the VOs first assume that the applicants intend to immigrate, then use evidence to help them eliminate that assumption.

 

I guess nobody knows exactly how a case is reviewed. When my parents applied, the VO hardly looked at anything they submitted, and approved within a couple of minutes after one or two easy questions.

 

We made sure that my parents didn't overstay their visa, so that to build a good track record.
