Hi, my husband has only been in the US since December. We would love for his mother to come visit. My husband's mother is married and lives in the village and my father-in-law will not be petitioning for a visitors visa. What are the chances of her getting a visa? She will be returning of course because her husband is her life.

**** Moving from Bringing Family to Tourist visa ****

Her chances aren;t great, because of the country she is from, but worth a try.

Nigeria is a high fraud country so it is extremely difficult to get a visitor visa.

Her chances depend on her strong ties to Nigeria. What are the compelling reasons for her to return home after a brief visit to overcome the presumption that she may stay in the US after her permitted time expires?

If she is poor, her changes are pretty much zero.

Her ties are to her husband whom she has been married to for over 50 years. She is coming just to visit us. Deep sigh, she is in her 70's and has no intentions of immigrating here, she loves her husband and her home in the village.

Yes, we all say that, but the IO at the Embassy/Consulate must feel that the person will return to the home country and the burden of proof is on the visa applicant. You are guilty of immigrating to the US until you can prove you are not going to immigrate. It applies to everyone who applies for a tourist visa. It is just that some countries are easier to get a visa from then others. I know I am worried about my MIL getting a visa to visit us this summer. Does she have enough ties--i.e. documentated proof--that she will return. I do not know. We will try and see what happens. At least if you are successful then the next time she applies for a visa will be much easier.

Good luck,

Dave

A husband is not enough proof that she has reasons to return. What are the other reasons for her to go back? Does she have children and grandchildren in Nigeria? Does she own property there?

Yes she has children and grandchildren and yes she and her husband owns their home...will that be enough?

Maybe, if she applies.

you have a 50/50 chance the only thing you can do is try it is tough but possible my brother in law got a 2yr visitor visa out of Lagos and they did not ask for any of his support documents they just asked him who was he going to see? and when did his brother (my husband) get married.....so try there is no harm in trying goodluck :thumbs:

I seems to be in the same thought line. I want her to come and visit us. She has her own property in Lagos&jointly own with her husband in my town where she works with FG.Wants her to come visiting during her leave and go back. What're the chances?

If she does not apply - zero.

If she does apply better than the above.
