  1. Yes. Attach your salary slip, employment letter and bank statement. There is no correct number for the bank balance, but higher the better.

  2. There is not much you can do in your case. They can carry property documents and say that even though you own it, they reside there as they are retired/unemployed. If they are involved socially (volunteering), they can highlight that.
