Hi to all. Were planning to invite my mom to come here in the US for 2 or maybe 2 and a half months for a visit. We have no idea how the B2 visa works. To all filipinas who already experienced to invite their parents here for a visit hope you can guide us guys on what to do. How we can start this process? How long it normally takes? Do we need to fill up any forms? What documents we will need? We are aware about the show money but my worry is that I don't think my mom can have a "ties" to show. Technically speaking my brother bought her a house and lot last 2008, but as far as I know it is under my brother's name since all the payment was taken out from his bank account. My husband and I are planning to send my mom an invitation/sponsorship letter. Is there any form that we need to fill up and send to mom? If there is, where we can get it? We also planning to make an overseas call to US Embassy to get info but I wanna try getting info here first. I am sure a lot of filipinas here have already experienced to invite a family/relative for a visit. Need your help guys. Thanks in advance.

We wanna start the process this month. We are hoping that by August we can get mom. I am pregnant and I want my mom to be here before my delivery which is on Sept. Have a good life to all.

Fate put us together; guided our love ever since. It is our duty to protect, value and treated our love with so much care. LOVE TRULY, DEEPLY and FAIRLY!

You cannot help your mom to get a B2. Only she can apply for it, at which time she has to show strong ties to her home country and convince them that she would not want to stay in the US.

Since you, her daughter, are a US resident, bringing you into the game does IMHO do exactly the opposite: give the immigration people a reason to fear she would want to stay with you in the US. It won't be easy.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

There's nothing you can do apart from writing a well-worded letter of invitation.

She will need to qualify on her own by demonstrating significant ties to Philippines that would compel her to return at the end of her stay.

Always a 50/50 chance.
