We would like to bring my wife's mother her for a 5-6 month visit. She is in her early 60's and would have to either go to Warsaw or Moscow to the US embassy. She is married and has other children in Belarus also an apartment that is hers. She does not speak Polish and has not done any traveling outside of her country. So we think that going to Moscow is a better option for her, but a long hard expensive trip for her alone.

Has anyone from Belarus brought thier inlaws here that were under 70 years old? Please let us know which embassy you used and what all was required?

My MIL is from Russia not Belarus but we have brought her here a few times with little difficulty. Most of the application process can be done online and then they set up an interview and that is pretty much it. I am sure this isn't of much help but the process is pretty straight forward and once you get the first visa you can get future ones without an interview.

Surprised nobody has questioned your sanity of wanting your MIL to move in for 6 months.

Can you get Travel Insurance for that period in Belarus, at that age you can not in the UK.

Hi Ron,

I am from Belarus. I became a US citizen in December, 2013. My mom came to visit this past February and had no problems.

The whole application was submitted and paid for online and we chose Mocscow for her interview. She was in and out of the embassy - pretty quick process. I understand that since I am a citizen she was 90% guaranteed a US visa.

The officer did ask her whether she wanted the visa for 6 months or 1 year. She chose 6 months since she was planning to visit only for 2 weeks. The visa only allowed for 1 entry to the US. It is unfortunate, as far as I know Russian citizens can get a visa for up to 3 years.

Also, she flew through Frankfurt and did not need a transit visa. I hope that helps:)

Why or how did you acquire your understanding.

Esenlya, thank you very much for the information and congratulation on your citizenship. We have heard the same from a few people and will also be using Moscow. Tanya is not a US citizen yet but we have a brand new baby who is :dancing: so we hope that will help Grandma in getting her visa.

Boiler, Iam not sure what you are asking?

He was reffering to this quote Ron.
