my cousin has a wedding next year up in san jose. her father is in Vietnam and has very strong ties back there and should have no problem getting the visa. my question is what about his two alot less well-off brothers' chances? i don't mind filing the paperworks and getting them through the process, but are there any realistic chances of them being approved? also, her father remarried...any chance for the stepmom and half-sister?

I know few people including my grandma were able to. They didn't have strong ties. I also know few wealthy people who failed several times. It's YMMV.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Wife's journey.

All of these people will file for a tourist visa as individuals. Each case will be reviewed on its own merits. Other than advising them you have nothing to do with the process.

Vietnam can be very difficult for anyone seeking a tourist visa. Her father may have some chance but will have to understand exactly how to prove beyond a doubt he MUST return. Step mom and sister? Now it sounds like the entire family is coming. Throw is a few more brothers and it just gets worse. If the truth is told they can forget it. If they lie they will never be granted a visa. The officers are highly trained and very experianced.

so is it a case of the more people apply, the worse the chances are anybody will go? or do the CO judge each case on its own merits? at first only the father, his wife, and their child would apply. now it's turned into the other 2 uncles would also like a shot. if we can't do anything over here on our side, i guess i could tell them to go to a dich vu over there and apply the paperworks.
