Visitor Visa

[Arringke 0]

As salamu alaikum!

I'm glad to see most people here are being successfully united with their significant others! It's been a while since I checked in so I extend hellos to everyone. The latest news for me, since I saw a new thread for pregnant women, is that my wife is now 16 weeks pregnant! She suffered through the same things that many of the women on that thread are complaining about so ... my heart goes out to you all and I pray that things become easier for you all.

Now my wife wants her mother to come in the summer during the school break (her mother is a teacher) to be here at her delivery and the beginning of motherhood. She wants to mention the pregnancy as the reason for the visit, but colleagues from Russia, China and the Phillipines says this is a very bad idea. Anyone have any experience with the B Visitor visa, or any advice. As is always the case here, all help is greatly appreciated (and useful, too)!

Ma'a salaam

Hi - Well from what I've read about other peoples experiences you might not want to make that a strong argument. Better to emphasis her ties and reasons for retuning to Morocco, showing that she has a teaching contract, if she owns property, if she has kids that are still in Morocco. Any signigant reasons that will prove she will return.

HOpefully Salwa will chime in here. Her mom just got approved for a visitor's visa. I believe she just stated that she wants to visit her daughter and grandchild. Good luck!

Hi my mum recieved her visitor Visa today they gave her a visa valid for 5 years with Multiple entry to USA..

in fact I sent to My mum every single possible paper they can ask for ..

My visa and my state ID and my husband's passport "copy" and his employement letter

my dad passport and every thing that we own " my parents " I mean ..

I told her to take with her my sisters and brother Brith certificate and my Marrige papers and her marrige certficate ..my dad bank statement ..

But she told me in her interview was very easy and the CO all whatshe asked for is my dad job and how many kids my mum have and my husband copy of passpost and my copy of my visa ...and that was it

so I think if your wife's mother is married and her husband is still together and hse has unmarried kids ..she will have no problem having the visistor visa

by the way the CO asked my mum why she wanna come to US ..she said to see me and attend my labor and see her first grand daughter ...

I sent to her too a paper from my doctor that says I need my mum and iam pregnant and my due date...

so make sure to send her this papers and she willbe OK

Good luck
