Trying to Apply for a B2 Visa for Mom (I am a LPR)

[Noah Lot 391]

I completely agree with Brother Hesekiel. The fact that you live in the US is doing more harm than good. You should have nothing to do with your mother's application. I was once told that anyone that applies for a B2 visa is looked at as having immigration intent. Therefore, your mother needs to prove this is not the case. Two very famous questions they usually aske are:

1. Do yo have family in the US?

2. What is the purpose of your visit?

Once you answer yes to question 1, the interview is over...visa denied! In my opinion, it will be hard for your mother to prove that her visa would be just for a visit. In the words of Brother Hesekiel " you need to disappear from the radar".

Good luck to you and your mom.

sorry, but it is not true that if a visa applicant answers 'yes' to the question concerning a relative living in the US that his/her application will be instantly denied....now, if the applicant lies about that fact, that would lead to a very rapid denial because the applicant's credibility will have been compromised.

Yes, every applicant seeking a tourist visa is already presumed by our laws to be going to the US to stay, and thus, they are ineligible to obtain that visa until they convince a consular official otherwise....the key word is 'convince'....there are NO specific documents that can be presented at the interview that will guarantee visa issuance, including bank statements, title deeds, invitation letters or the ever popular 'letter of guarantee' (that states that the relative living in the US will make sure that the applicant leaves the country....something that said relative has NO authority to do)....but merely having a relative living in the US is not grounds for an instant denial....

Sorry haven't had a chance to reply to the posts.

Thank you for giving such valuable answers to my questions. I now have trained mom to answer and I hope this time she will be able to get it. FINGERS CROSSED!

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
