I recently went to the Airport iimmigration to apply for my parents' visit visa and the bored officer asked me who was coming? When I said it was my parents who were visiting me.. he asked me the next question... Where am I working?

I replied 'Oil & Gas Industry' (name witheld) and he asked my salary and I told him 15,000 and guess what he replies... TOO LESS.. You cannot bring your parents... go get a hotel visa...

I got the visa the very next day signed by an active officer..

But the striking fact was the officer thought 15,000 was too less a salary for him.. Now will someone tell me what's the ideal salary... lol... I would say go for 11,000 + an accommodation... but again it depends on the job you have applied for..
