Tax transcripts for B2??

[floridadave 195]

I am asking for advice on bringing my wife’s mother and brother in for a visit from China. I am the USC the wife is LPR w/10 yr green card.

The wife’s mom and brother easily have the means to pay their way while visiting us. However, we will be paying for all expenses while they are here out of respect and payback as they done so much for us when we visited them in China.

To help with their B2 visa the wife feels I need to give them at least a letter of invitation and last 3 years of our tax transcripts. Has anyone heard of this? Is this necessary?

Thanks.

It won't help, and in some cases can hinder. They have to apply on each their own merits, showing strong ties to China. Reasons why they must return.

Yes, that's my thinking too. Thanks

Their hukou and letter of invitation from your Lao Po along with a copy of her green card and the bio page from your passport and hers. A copy of your marriage certificate wouldn't hurt either.

They also need to prove their income and property ownership etc....

Tax transcripts from you shouldn't be necessary
