mother-in-law tourist visa interview date (merged)

[Lannna 0]

Hi friends, I am here to ask about the B2 visa about my mother.

My husband petitioned spouse visa for me a year ago, my interview will be in January,2016.

He would like to invite my mom visit his family, and me and my mom can fly to US together.

So my mother apply B2 visa, the intended American address all put as my husband's.

Now I wonder can I schedule my mom's interview date one or two days after my interview date ?

If so, we can save money about the trip to embassy. My mom and me can go to interview together, just live there for few days.

Will it affect my spouse visa interview? when I interview, does officer knows my husband also invite my mom's tourist visa ?

or will it affect my mom's tourist visa interview ? Because If I pass interview, the passport won't in my hand within few days. When my mom has interview, she can't show officer that her daughter already got visa.

thank you all, I am confused...

scheduling will depend largely on the embassy's workload; the rest won't be of any consequence, barring information not yet revealed. Whether you are in the US or on the way really doesn't matter for her interview - she will, like every other B2 applicant, need to convince the CO that she will return to wherever after a visit.

Yeah the I-134 is for non-immigrant visas.

my husband want to apply a tourist visa for my mother who is his mother-in-law, does he need to fill the I-134 to ask my mom take interview, it will be in China embassy.

Your husband does not apply for her; she applies for herself. An I-134 is not needed because it is not legally enforceable. This otherwise useless piece of paper is, oddly, only used for K1 visas...(why, is anybody's guess!)

1. Now I wonder can I schedule my mom's interview date one or two days after my interview date ?

2. Will it affect my spouse visa interview? when I interview, 3. does officer knows my husband also invite my mom's tourist visa ?

or 4. will it affect my mom's tourist visa interview ? Because If I pass interview, the passport won't in my hand within few days. 5. When my mom has interview, she can't show officer that her daughter already got visa.

1. HFM181818 gave some very good advice. Some embassies and consulates will allow you to request or reschedule your interview. This is very embassy specific however. You might want to ask in the China forum: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/94-china/

2. It will not affect your spouse visa interview. Your mother applying for a tourist visa is irrelevant to your marriage.

3. There is no invitation for a tourist visa. Anyone wanting to visit the United States can apply for a tourist visa.

4. Generally, it should not affect it. The only thing that determines your mother's tourist visa application is whether or not the officer believes she will leave the United States at the end of her trip.

5. She doesn't need to show the officer that her daughter has a visa. She needs to show the officer that she intends to visit the United States, and leave at the end of her trip.

Your husband does not apply for her; she applies for herself. An I-134 is not needed because it is not legally enforceable. This otherwise useless piece of paper is, oddly, only used for K1 visas...(why, is anybody's guess!)

Exactly.

There is no invitation or petition involved in a tourist visa, as there would be for family immigration.
