Will my mother in law eveer be able to visit

[tehans 52]

It really sucks, it seems my mother in law will never be allowed to visit us. She is unmarred lives in Poland and my wife is her only daughter. She owns a flat and gets a pension in Poland.

I don't see her situation changing.

She has been denied twice. Second time we had letters from senators, didn't help

It is such a hassle to take our baby on the plane expose him to all the germs and be apart because I have a limited number of free days from work. From everything I read there is nothing else we can do. If anyone has any advice let me know

Wait for your wife to be a USC, after that, let her apply for immigrant visa for her mother.

Can't she go by herself?

he mentioned the separation will be hard on them. They say the third time is a charm but there is NO guarantee. My mom applied three timess too until i decided to file for her. I did not want her to come and live here but to visit and go as she pleases but then we had no choice.

We don't want to immigrate her, She would not be happy here, All her family is there and she does not even speak English and I could not afford to even buy health insurance for her. Sure she can go there alone, but last time she went for 2.5 months and I missed a lot of the interesting things about our son growing. If by some miracle Poland finally gets into the VWP, with these denials have any influence on her using VWP? So sometimes after denials people are approved? How is it possible?

If you'll can wait it out, with the new immigration reform there will be major chnages in the visitor visa process. Many people will benefit from it, but it will hurt those who uses it to abuse the immigration process.

Odd, I have not seen any mention of any changes.

Sorry for that question, and you don't have to answer this here.

How did your wife come to the US and stayed?

Did she use a tourist/student visa for that?

Or was it via an official immigration route (K-1, CR-1)?

If she used a tourist visa, that might be a reason her mother can't get one. The CO might suspect she'll follow her daughter, even if she says she won't. After all her daughter went to visit only as well.

Sorry if I assumed wrong.

No she came here on a tourist visa we got married and she returned to Poland and waited 6 months while the CR-1 processed.

Implement the US-VISIT Exit Requirement System

Install biometric exit requirements at all airports and seaports

Create a biometric system for land borders to ensure that temporary workers are registered and leave the country before the visa expires

This will open up the path to many more vistor visa approvals. Sorry you are not called upon on all of the immigration reform decisions.

Ewww, I don't want to do passport control upon exit, that's gonna suck.

Thanks for the answer.

And I'm sorry I don't have an advice for you.

[tehans 52]

We never imagined she would not be allowed to come. Naive I guess. Really sad about the whole thing

Has your MIL ever travelled anywhere? They do seem to like it if she has been to other countries.

In Europe, France, Croatia, Ukraine. Seems to me the limiting factor is no husband and my wife is her only child.

I think it was also a mistake to tell them she wnted to be here when the baby was born at the first application. I think they assumed we waned a baby sitter, which we don't. My wife doesn't work.

Is it very common to get approved after previous denials?
