MODERATOR: Please keep this post as i need advice from fellow colleagues.
my wife has to visit US to visit her family relatives(khala phupo etc), but we haven't obtain invitation letter as i will be responsible for all the expenses for trip etc, but she will be staying at her relatives.she has been to US last year and came back with in the time frame of visa, at time her sister send invitation letter but her sister is no more in US now
Following are the documents that i have prepared in order to show the visa officer,
3 month bank statement, medical insurance letter, a letter from my company stating my annual salalry and i am employed and my wife in uae is under my sponsership and will get back after holidays plus i am attaching Credit Card copy with credit limit specified on bank letter.
Please advice if i need to show any thing else, most importantly what are the chances for getting visa. is there any thing that is missing or to be avoided. do i need to write a letter from my side stating that i am sponsering this trip and all the expenses will be covered by me, however in application itself i am mentioned that i am sponsering her.
Please advice.

I think most frequent reasons for denial of US ***visit*** visa are as following.
- National security, usually young men with ‘objectionable’ religious, national or ethnic background.
- Unclear objective or plan of visit
- Unconvincing objective or plan of visit (where ‘unconvincing’ depends on context of applicant, the same objective could be convincing for some applicants but unconvincing for others)
- Absence of evidence of sufficient funds or resources for two-way travel and duration of stay, multiplied by number of individuals to visit, plus expenses expected back home during visit, plus some safety cushion. Its better if this financial sufficiency is demonstrated by the applicant. But sometimes it may also be acceptable if demonstrated by someone else depending upon context of applicant and sponsor (like if applicant is minor, housewife, elderly or sick and sponsor is immediate relative with provable relationship).
- Absence of evidence of stable/settled/aged/strong employment and financial ties (like aged ownership of illiquid assets) in home country. To a lesser degree similar applies about personal ties in home country.
- Presence (NOT absence) of evidence or even hints of too strong personal ties already settled in US (like spouse, fiancée, sibling or parent). To a lesser degree similar applies about financial ties in US.
(Note: in ***immigrant*** visa processing the last two points are reversed. Also in case of immigrant visa the evidence of financial sufficiency isn’t expected from beneficiary, but the sponsor in US.)
In my observation usually US visa officers are quite objective in their processing (unlike general impression that they are sitting there to refuse), and for genuine or genuine-like applications the chances of visit visa won't be too low. |

If her 5 year multiple entry visa is still valid, i don't think you should need any fresh documents.She is just to get the ticket & travel to U.S. If I am wrong, I shall be thankful if some brother corrects me. |
