My wife just got a expediated interview for the vistors visa, due to my fathers health (he has terminal cancer).

We had applied for the k-3 visa but havent been approved yet, so based upon this our congressman suggested we try a vistors visa

Besides bringing the DS-156 electronic form, passport and supporting documents (doctors letter), how else should we prepare?

thanks

Usually for a visitor's visa you have to show ties to the country you are living in: Work, Family, Property owned, however I have never heard of them giving a visitor's visa if an immigration petition has been filed for, however in your case I hope it will be different. Just bring anything that shows she would have to come back and could not stay in the US.

Non-Immigrant Visas

IMPORTANT: Applicants should also bring evidence of strong family, work, and financial ties to China that will convince the interviewing consular officer that you will return after a temporary stay in the United States. Such evidence could include bank books, housing/land deeds, family photos, marriage certificates, birth certificates, business cards, letters from your employer, etc. No specific documents are required. You may bring whatever you feel will convince the consular officer that you will return to China.

thanks! im just trying my best! we have 2 letters from his doctor about the severity of the situation. we are agruing that we just want her to see my father as i think he has at best only 2 months, and any amount of time she could come here would be very great. We are also agruing that if we didnt have this situation that we would wait patiently for that k3-visa.
