Every parent dreams of celebrating life’s special moments with their children. For Col. Sanjay Shivpuri (Retd.) and Mrs. Sarika Shivpuri, Diwali 2025 was one such cherished occasion. With their daughter pursuing higher education in the United States on an F1 visa, the couple longed to be with her to bring the warmth of home, the sparkle of Diya's, and the blessings of family to her overseas life. This is the heartwarming journey of how two first-time visa applicants, they were nervous about their interview as they were not fluent in English.— one a respected Army veteran, the other a devoted teacher-turned-homemaker — turned that dream into reality.
Col. Sanjay Shivpuri, a decorated officer, proudly served in the Indian Army for 32 years. Over the decades, he was posted across various regions, enriching his life with diverse experiences and a deepened sense of discipline, integrity, and patriotism. During his last tenure, he served in a senior capacity at the Military Hospital, eventually retiring in 2024 as a Colonel and former Commanding Officer.
“I retired from the Indian Army with the rank of Colonel, having served for 32 years. During my tenure, I was stationed in various regions, which enriched my life experiences and deepened my commitment to serving my country". Sanjay Shivpuri
His wife, Sarika Ji, began her career as a schoolteacher and later chose to focus on family life. As a homemaker, she supported their daughter’s education and emotional growth, now proudly watching her excel abroad.
Their dream was simple: to visit their daughter and celebrate Diwali 2025 with her in the U.S. — not as tourists, but as parents bringing a piece of home to her student life overseas.
Even with a strong professional background and a compelling purpose, applying for a USA visitor visa can feel daunting — especially for first-time applicants. The Shivpuri's turned to JKM Overseas because they wanted professional guidance with a personal touch.
They chose us because of our reputation for deep visa expertise, clear guidance, and successful outcomes for family-oriented visits.
At JKM Overseas, we knew that this application needed to be more than just compliant — it needed to reflect emotion, structure, and truth. Here’s how we helped:
Detailed Profile Assessment:
We carefully evaluated their eligibility and planned their documentation strategy around their strong Indian ties, purpose of visit, and pension-backed financials.
Customized Documentation & Cover Letters:
Their application included not just basic forms but also a comprehensive letter of purpose, proof of pension, retirement documents, and clear indications of return plans. This helped establish their non-immigrant intent convincingly.
Interview Training & Confidence Building:
For individuals with no prior visa experience, the visa interview can be stressful. Our team offered mock sessions and confidence coaching to help them articulate their story with calm and clarity.
Their application was strong, their documentation complete, and their purpose genuine — and the result reflected that. Their USA B2 Visitor Visa was approved in one attempt, bringing them closer to reuniting with their daughter during Diwali 2025.
From Jaipur to the U.S., a dream is about to come true — not just a festival, but a heartfelt family celebration across continents.
Col. Shivpuri and Sarika Ji’s journey reminds us that first-time applicants with the right support and sincerity can succeed. If you too are planning to visit your children, attend a family milestone, or simply be with loved ones abroad, let JKM Overseas be your trusted partner.
