Resident in need of Visa for Family Member

[alebella 3]

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know if a resident can assist a family member getting a visa?

My mother is a resident, my father a U.S citizen. However, it's my mother's uncle that wishes to visit her. He is of age and recently loss his wife. My mother is afraid that her uncle won't make it so she wants him to come over for a few days or weeks if possible.

Any information is greatly appreciated

So she wants him to apply for visitor visa!! She can definitely assist him by providing letter of invitation. The probability of getting the visa will be solely determined by her uncle's documents that how he can prove his ties to his country and how he can convince the CO that he will return back to the country after visiting US.

He won't make what?

She can provide him with a letter of invitation, and offer sponsorship; however if he has no job, and doesn't own property they may deny him.

(mod hat off)

Your relative will have to prove to the satisfaction of the US consular official at the interviewing US embassy/consulate, that they have significant ties to Nepal such that they would return to Nepal after their US visit is completed. Such ties could include, property, house ownership, current stable employment, etc. Each visitor visa applicant is presumed to have immigration intent, and must prove that they are not trying to immigrate to the US. A letter from a doctor, any documents from you, or any other invitation-type letter would likely have no positive effect on the visitor visa approval.

Good luck.

He won't make what?

Usually when someone says "they won't make it," they mean they do not have a lot of time to live.

Could also mean that he can not live by himself? Needs help.

But if he is in had health a long trip to the US sounds iffy.

Let me clarify,

My mother's uncle lost his wife a few months ago. He is 70 years old and still hasn't gotten back to his normal routine, due to depression. My mother and her cousins are afraid that he won't make it, meaning live long. They want him to visit the states for a few days at least. They have no plans on keeping him here, seeing that he doesn't want to. So, I don't know what you are referring to when you say it sounds iffy. If we wanted him here, his daughters would have gone through the process 30 years ago when they came to the states.

Good day

Your uncle can apply for visitor visa. Your mother can not do anything to help him.

an LPR has no more influence over someone else getting a B2 visa than a USC....in fact, no one can positively influence the process, but it is might easy to influence the process negatively.
