Getting visa tourist for my wife that lives in morocco

[Bick 0]

I am us citizen( naturalization) I got married in morocco and my wife had a kid from her previuos marriage. Now she can not stay at the state too long because she can't stay away from her kid for too long. Anyway I want to get her to usa using visa toursit. So how do I start on that and what document I will need for it. And is it going to be hard for her to obtain visa tourist or since her husbabd is us citizen it won't be a big deal. Also I will be sponsoring her and signing a letter of invitation. The max she want to stay is 6 months thats it. I will appreciate your answers thank you.

What does she do that allows her so much holiday?

You do not need to submit an invitation letter or sponsorship. She needs to prove that she has strong ties to Morocco and will return at the end of her visit. With a US citizen husband living in the US that would sound doubtful.

As Boiler asked, what does she do that would allow her to have a 6 month holiday? A child at home is a good tie to Morocco, but likely not strong enough compared with her current spouse in the US.

It's likely a difficult task, but the only way to know for sure is to apply and have the interview.

What do you mean what does she do? That is not so much holidays that is only 6 months. I dont understand what you are trying to say by what does she do to allow her so much holiday? And her son is a strong tie, what do you think kids are nothing in your eyes? She have to have a million dollar in the bank so it will show a good tie. Please if someone have some decent answer if not I do not need people just answering out of nothing.

She is a mother and a wife thats what she does at the moment. Is not enough for us embassy in morocco to acknowledge that she is entitle to visit her husband for 6 months. Plus she doesn't give a damn about staying in usa. She loves her son way too damn much. I was gonna apply for her green card bcause she is my wife but she said no because she will have to stay here gor a while to finish the process.

6 months is A LOT of holidays especially to a developed country that offers maybe 2 weeks a year. It is a decent answer because this is a question she's likely to encounter. I would say that her chances are slim to none as many have left children before. children are ties but not strong ones as shown on this forum

Who said is a lot? Don't you think if I want to get her to live with me I would just apply for her green card cause she is my wife. So what is strong ties in your guys eyes that she has a jobs so i will say that many people left thier jobs too coming over here. What kind the ties that consider a strong ties? 20thousand in the bank? Put her house in us embassy so they can take it if she dont come back? Or what is this strong strong tie? You all talking but without giving any explanation.

She's at the mercy of the officer. Job letter helps, proof of funds, return flight, property, etc.

She's at the mercy of the officer. Job letter helps, proof of funds, return according to your previuos answer. So whats make them think she will return even if she shows letter from her job, properties, and tickets? Matter fact any person that want to enter usa it is a must to have round trip ticket that is out of questions. I was hoping for an answer from an expert as my friend reffer me to this website but I think everyone in this site just say whatever. But thank you all.

No not everyone requires a round trip ticket. I didn't coming from canada. And you're receiving good advice of nobody can supply you with The absolute. It's up to the officer that day. It seems more you are looking for what you want to hear

I am not looking for what i want to hear no. But you guys are saying things that doesnt make any sense. Well probably you got lucky but try to fly again to canada with only one way ticket. Anyway that is not our subject speaking of advice you guys didnt give me any advice at all. Strong ties what is strong ties job,properties, house,,,those are not strong ties cause anyone can leave this stuff coming over here. The good advice you guys can give me is an experience of someone has the same case as me and thats what i was hoping for. Thabk you.

"What does she do? " means does she work, stay at home, a student? That WILL be important at her tourist visa interview. A student, business owner, employee would have trouble arranging a 6 month break.

A child is a strong tie. But a new spouse in the US would likely be seen as a stronger tie. Remember that EVERY visa applicant is assumed to have immigrant intent. So it is the responsibility of the person applying to prove that they will return to their country at the end of the trip. A spouse does not have a right to visit the US just because they are married to a citizen.

You may not like the answers that you are receiving, but they come after a lot of time spent going through immigration personally and observing the postings of Visa Journey members seeking similar advice.

And for what it's worth, the embassy is not where the time of stay decision is made. The immigration officer at the airport will determine how long she can stay. You can plan for 6 months, but may be given less time (a few weeks to a few months).

Do some reading in the MENA regional forum here on VJ (Middle East, North Africa) to discover specific information about people at the Casa embassy.

Sounds a slam dunk for a visa, if they give her any grief tell them you will contact Obama. He will sort it. Yes he can.

If she can leave her son for 6 months, how is that a strong reason to return? Who will take care of him? If other relatives, then if they can do it for 6 months, why not more?

That is the issue....

Few people on the planet get 6 months of paid vacation. Money in a bank is not a reason to return to the country in which said bank is located. Nor is a house. Nor, even a son.

What matters if what the CO believes will draw her back to Morocco....if the CO doesn't buy it, the application will be denied.

Sage advice for the OP coming from a former CO I believe
