K1 Fiancee's Mothe, Tourist Visa

[seekingknowledge 2]

Hi Guys and thanks in advance.

My fiancée will be coming in shorty since she got her K1 visa issued. She has a mother in Baja California, who is married (not to her father). Anyways, my further mother in law wants to come to the wedding. My understanding is that B1 visa is the route to go.

She has the following (from what I am told):

1) Proof that she has a job,

2) that she owns a home in mexico (different where she currently resides in Mexico).

3) Proof that she has a daughter, with kids, in Baja.

She has no checking account, Her new husband is a US citizen that lives with her in Mexico, but does not want to give any of his info, SS, Passport #, Citizen certificate number, etc, out of fear that "he may be forced to fix her papers" I know it is dumb but what can you do. The home that she resides in is her husband's and he does not want to give any paperwork on her. Also, she used to have a tourist VISA about many years ago and was cancelled 12 years ago because she did not have correct paperwork.

I will prepare a declaration of support so she can take for the interview, but from understanding decisions are made usually by looking at DS 160. Any tips at filling out DS 160 so I can make sure that it gets across that she will return to Mexico (truthfully of course).

Any tips? Any advice? Any thoughts?

Best of luck but a declaration of support from you is next to useless and could very well have a negative impact on her application.

You mentioned she had a tourist visa cancelled, that could be a very serious point if it involved misrepresentation.

I don't think it got cancelled for misrepresentation. She told me it was cancelled 12 years ago because she went on for additional paperwork that she did not have. I think may have been to renew.

Whe I saw fiancee's old passport it said cancelled I am sure her mother's says cancelled as well.

Oh and my future mother in law is 45 years old. If it matters.

Probably not in the end that relevant but the Visa would only have been cancelled for a reason.

And it a B2.

Wow. Any other thoughts. How do you find out the reason for cancellation?

Now I got debate about dropping money on something that will not work. She really wanted her mother at the wedding.

[Boiler 45,557]

I am pretty sure she will know.

There is no harm in applying, only the application fee at risk.

Her having a job and house in Mexico, does that show strong ties? She is also married to a USC although he does not want to help.

[Boiler 45,557]

I thought she was not living in the house, the US Husband would be a negative.

I just spoke to my fiancée. Her mom husband are living together but will filing for divorce.

Is that relevant?
