Family Visiting

[Giz and Mitch 0]

Hello,

I recently applied and recieved a K-1 visa for my wife. She came to USA and we married. Now she is hoping for her parents to come and visit her. Is there any special visa that would fit our situation.

Now her mother and father would not be staying long term. Perhaps a few weeks or so at most. I was just wondering if there only option was a B-1 visa or perhaps something else would be better.

Thanks for your advice,

Mitch

It would be very helpful to know which country you're referencing so you can get the best answers.

B1 is a Business Visa.

Si, man -- the poorer or more visa-fraudulent the country, the tougher it is.

Generally, if you want to visit (and not live in) the United States you must first obtain a visitor visa. Travelers from certain countries may be exempt from this requirement. For more information, please see the U.S Department of State website.

If you want to travel to the United States for reasons other than business or pleasure, you must apply for a visa in the appropriate category. This includes if you want to study, work as a crew member or journalist, etc., You can get help determining which visa you need by selecting the appropriate categories on our home page.

Extending Your Visit

If Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authorizes your admission to the United States at the designated port of entry, you will receive a stamped Form I-94, Record of Arrival-Departure. If you wish to stay beyond the time indicated on the Form I-94, you may apply for an extension by filing Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, with USCIS.

If You Lose Form I-94

You may apply for a replacement Form I-94 by filing a Form I-102, Application for Replacement/Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival/Departure Record.

Pardon; I wrote that post late last night and did not think it all through.

My wife is original from Turkey. Her parents are in turkey now. Like I had said previously she just wants them to come visit because we are having a wedding ceremony (though we are already married; re-exchanging a vows would be a better term).
