I searched the forum but didn't see this specifically covered. My fiances mother is working in Spain and I would like to fly her here to the US for our wedding in November.

The issue is that she's a Philippine citizen working in Spain for the last 2 years and doesn't have a lot of finances saved. I'm paying for everything, but the state department likes to see some compelling reasons not to stay.

I was looking into the tourist visa, but since she's only working in Spain she doesn't get the favored nation status.

I can have her apply for the B2, but it doesn't look likely that she'll be approved (As far as I've read that is)

Any thoughts on this process would be appreciated.

regardless, she has to get a tourist visa because of her passport, not because of the country where she works.

however, if she has a work contract and can show it along with the work visa, on interview day, then IMO, she has a shot.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Seems a reasonable summary.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

It can't hurt to apply and it's cheap. I'm about to do same thing for my sister-in-law. I told her don't get her hopes up but I will do what I can to make it happen. I personally think they do things backwards, they force you to do visa for family members for permanent stay which makes no sense. I certainly don't want my fiances family here I wouldn't have been looking half way around the world if I did... ha ha. I think before marriage is harder than to after myself, but just depends who you get.
