Inviting mother/sister in-law's to USA from Ukraine

[WillyKid 0]

Hello. My wife (recently issued 10-year GC) and I (USC) would like to invite both my mother and sister-in law (both Ukraine citizens) to the US on a B2 Tourist/Pleasure Visa. My mother-in-law was invited once back in 2009 (post our marriage), but denied for no reason. My sister-in-law was also denied once as we invited her to our wedding. So, we now want to attempt Round #2 for each of them -- not together, but sepatately.

First question group: As the USC/petitioner, what documents do I need to supply? Letter of Invitation to both as well as Letter of Invitation written to the US Embassy in Ukraine? I think that is it? Do I need to provide my tax return information? Copies of US Passport? Bank information? Etc.?

Second question group: For those that have successfully obtained a B2 Visa from the Kiev embassy, what worked for you? What documents do you recommend my mother/sister in-law's supply themselves?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance for your input and comments!

Kind regards,

Bill (and Mariya)

You do not provide anything. It is their application, they complete the forms and demonstrate their ties and need to go back home.

I too have the exact same question. We have already forwarded our information like the sponsorship paperwork you mentioned. I looked up B2 Visitor Visa sponsor documents in google and got a list of info to provide the visa petitioner to present to the consul. I too want to know what best information is needed for the petitioner as ties to the country. What did people with visitor visas use when they got their approved. The more details the better.
