@Bryanna can you advise?

I live with my father in the house that I own. He does not work and is dependent on my income. Can this be shown as a tie? What documents need be shown to support this? Aadhaar/Ration card with both our names?

I understand. In an earlier thread, you suggested my father provide a letter authorizing me to use the account. Given that I am considering applying online, there are a few issues I am worried about: I have typed up my explanation letter in Word, which leaves me no option to sign by hand. As...

I assume you were applying for your mother to visit you? Was she the primary holder or were you? Did you state you were supporting her in her application? Maybe @Bryanna can weigh in?

Joint accounts have occasionally been discussed here, and I've read that they can be presented if accompanied by an approval from the other holder. I would like more detail on this, so I'll present my case. I will present my own, single bank account for my proof of funds. Additionally, I am...

Reading these forums, I've encountered only a few cases where an interview was required. I made this thread to discuss how likely they are to ask an interview, and in what circumstances they would feel the need to ask. 1.What aspects of the applicant might make them want to ask for an...

I have not made my mind up on it yet, one week was just an example of a duration that hasn't been discussed in previous threads. I just realized I had not worded the question I had wanted to ask all along: Is there any way a short trip can be interpreted negatively and harm the application? (in...

It's curious that you said "Every single application is unique. Consider it to be unique like fingerprints." and in the same breath added: "you may want to take the tried-and-tested route". The two look mutually exclusive; how can there be a tried and tested route when every application is...

Which is what I seek to do by calibrating the duration of my visit. From your comments I linked earlier, you've noted a trip too long indicates a lack of ties to India and potential to overstay. My reasoning is: a short trip should indicate the opposite: a strong tie to India and an intent to...

I am. It's become clear to me that one of the most consequential decisions when applying is to schedule an appropriate duration for the trip. Hence, this thread. I'm not focusing on hypothetical scenarios, I'm focusing on people's experiences with rejection and how to learn from them. Funnily...

Hmm... I swear I saw on this forum one poster who got rejected after applying for two weeks, with the community citing two weeks as suspiciously long for a first timer. I don't have the link to the exact comment though. How short a trip would be too short for a first timer?

Browsing these forums, I've seen a lot of rejections explained by the proposed visit being inappropriately long, say 2 months or more. This seems to be particularly applicable to people visiting Canada for the first time. For tourists with a flexible time frame, how long (in days) should their...

I have checked with my Chartered Accountant, and he says he is not aware of any procedures or any documents regarding valuation. He said there's nothing he can do. By self valuation, do you mean just stating how much the property is worth in the covering letter? If yes, surely they might be...

I've gathered that if you own property, it's a good idea to declare it when applying for a TRV visa. Further, I've been told that I'll need to submit property ownership papers, valuation and property tax statements. On that note, I would like to read first hand experiences from those who have...

What would you recommend instead? Which website (example: goibibo, yatra, etc) would you recommend for it? Is there any format or template this documented list must follow? For example, must it be printed on a sheet or a stamp paper, signed by myself and then notarized? Unfortunately, I am not...

Yes, I'll give myself as an example. Please advise if any of the following requires notarization or any such procedure. 1. I own the house I'm living in - is it worth mentioning? Does it count as a tie to the home country? If so, what document should be attached as proof? Should it be...

Greetings everyone, I wanted to discuss how applicants can improve their chances of getting their tourist visas; how to structure their cover letter, and in other areas. Many applicants may own the house they are living in. If that is the case, is it worth mentioning? Does it count as a tie to...

I see. Do they consider it equal to never having traveled abroad at all? To get a visa, you have to had previous visas. It seems like quite the paradox! Much like - to get a job you need experience, to get experience you need a job. Haha. Everybody has to start somewhere... how do people get...

Thank you for your insight, especially for reminding me about areas I overlooked. I understand 1L is insufficient. What amount would you recommend? As to my employment and ties to India: the reason I am self employed is because I also have to care for my parent, who lives with me in a house...

Greetings everyone. I am a self employed writer, who has self published an ebook online. My next project will be about the experience of travelling abroad as a first timer. As you can probably tell, this will be my first time travelling abroad. I have already decided to visit Hong Kong and Sri...
