Brainstorming ideas to put in the application

[ManuNSam 1]

Hi

My husband and I want to bring his mom here from Delhi, India.

We just renewed his greencard (removed conditions).

We are only having her apply for a tourist visa (we have no other option anyways since hes not a citizen yet). And - we only want her here for 2 months anyways.

Anyways while filling out paperwork I have run into a few questions. Hopefully some of you have ideas or even experience with this.

1. 30 years ago she and her husband applied for visas to the US and they were denied.(before my husband was even born). Will this make an impact on her current application?

2. her husband got a visa 15 years ago to canada for vistitor, but he never returned (he is still in canada - and he has worked it out that he is now there legally). will this come up? we are worried that it will impact her application but its not as if she had any say in it.

3. she is not employed. she is just a house mom. She does work for her brother in his office, but I dont think thats documented, i think he just pays her a little something everyweek (its really just to keep her busy). so im concerned about prooving TIES to india that she will return. any ideas on prooving this?

4. since we have just had our son, hes 9 months old, is there any leienancy (spelling?) for such cases?

Depends on why they denied it. If the same problems/reasons exist, they will affect this new application.

2. her husband got a visa 15 years ago to canada for vistitor, but he never returned (he is still in canada - and he has worked it out that he is now there legally). will this come up? we are worried that it will impact her application but its not as if she had any say in it.

Has nothing to do with an US visa.

3. she is not employed. she is just a house mom. She does work for her brother in his office, but I dont think thats documented, i think he just pays her a little something everyweek (its really just to keep her busy). so im concerned about prooving TIES to india that she will return. any ideas on prooving this?

That would probably be the reason for (1). I can't say what she could show. Employement, living arrangements (house/apartment lease), return ticket are usually what they start looking for.

4. since we have just had our son, hes 9 months old, is there any leienancy (spelling?) for such cases?

Probably not.

1. 30 years ago she and her husband applied for visas to the US and they were denied.(before my husband was even born). Will this make an impact on her current application? No - 30 years is a long time - circumstances change a lot in 30 years.

2. her husband got a visa 15 years ago to canada for vistitor, but he never returned (he is still in canada - and he has worked it out that he is now there legally). will this come up? we are worried that it will impact her application but its not as if she had any say in it. Has nothing to do with your husband's mother. She didn't illegally stay in Canada.

3. she is not employed. she is just a house mom. She does work for her brother in his office, but I dont think thats documented, i think he just pays her a little something everyweek (its really just to keep her busy). so im concerned about prooving TIES to india that she will return. any ideas on prooving this? This is where you are going to run into trouble. Immediate family (spouse & children), employment, and property ownership are some of the factors to show ties to a home country in evaluating whether someone is a risk of being an illegal immigrant. Very fact specific and only someone at the US embassy can make this determination. No immediate family, a low-paying job from a relative, and minimal property ownership is not going to help. Not impossible to show ties to India so that she is not determined to be an illegal immigration risk. The potential tourist has the burden to show that he/she is not a risk.

4. since we have just had our son, hes 9 months old, is there any leienancy (spelling?) for such cases? This is a good reason for her to visit, but she still has to show that she will not be an immigration risk. Write a letter inviting here to come here to see her grandson. She can show the embassy this letter in her application for a tourist visa. There is very little you can do for her. If she doesn't have significant ties to India, she will likely be deemed a risk no matter what the reason for her visit.
