Brother had tourist visa.. now its expired.. how to renew?

[carmie and aldo 0]

My lil bro's visa expired like 6 months ago... its a B1/B2 visa laser (mexican crossing card)

My mom is kinda worried because she's currently not working and my dad passed away on june this year.. so economically speaking.. the only income is dad's life insurance...

My aunt (dad's sister) is an american citizen...

I'm in the process of becoming a permanet resident. , my wife is a USC as well

Now..

Is there any way we can help in order from my brother to renew his visa asap?

I know that is kinda rushed but they really want to come for xmas... and my mom would feel bad if he leaves my lil bro behind

any ideas??

thank you

I'm sorry, I don't know the turnaround time on B1/B2s...how long does it usually take to get an appt?

There is really nothing a USC can do to facilitate a tourist visa.

not even a letter stating that we really want him to visit??

what about economically .. can we help economically...

my brother is only 16 years old.. i mean.. he is in HS.. so he does have roots to make him.. come back to mexico..

I don't think you will be able to have your brother in the US for X-mas. The next business day is Monday, Dec. 15th. I don't see how USCIS can process anything in 10 days when there is no emergency.

The best that you can do is write a letter inviting your mom and brother to visit and offering to pay for everything. Then your mom can take the letter and your brother to the US consulate and apply for a visitor visa.

Best of luck.

Since you are in the process of adjusting and I don't know what your current status is - legal or illegal. It may be better if your aunt wrote the letter.

thanks for your info...

yes I was checking that the next appt available is for the 15th.. I don't think is possible.. for them to get it that fast...

as far as my status... i think im in a neutral zone right now!... lol

Best of luck. Hope your brother does make it here in time for X-mas.
