Each person applies on his/her own based on his/her own merits.

You can not apply for your family. Each person applies on his/her own.

1. No, you can not go with your family member to the interview. Only the person applying for the visitor visa will be interviewed. You are not a part of the application.

2. There is only one applicant, the person applying for the visitor visa. (NO MAIN APPLICANT which indicates more than one person.) You are not a part of the application.

3. No one can tell you that. It's all depends on each family member's personal situation.

That may have been true in the past but the forms are now filed online. I completed my wife's B-2 application and picked an appointment date online. The second to last question asks if you were assisted with the application; I put my name and relation.

That said I would never file for anyone that wasn't a direct relative.

She filed, you helped her fill in the application.

Assisting to fill out a form is not the same as applying.

I helped my cousin file for a visitor visa. I am a US citizen. I am not applying. I am not the applicant. My cousin is the sole and only applicant.

Your splitting hairs over legalese. Most people with english as a second language wouldn't see a difference; I know my wife doesn't. To her there is no difference between a certified paper and a notarized paper as they translate to the same word in Vietnamese.

I for one did not realise English was your second language.

No, I am not.

There is a huge difference between helping someone fill out papers versus applying for oneself.

I'm Vietnamese, and I see the difference.

In fact, the US Government sees the difference between helping someone fill out paperwork versus that person applying with the applicant.

----------

P.S. A certified document (in the context of US immigration) is a copy from the government agency in charge of maintaining the record. A notarized document comes from a notary. I'm Vietnamese and I know the difference there too.

Lawyer?

I feel like a rant but there's no point.
