I'm a 22 year old guy who's about to lose his wife because I can't make it there and after 2 years if work and school and working her butt off.. She is just tired. If I don't go. I lose her and I don't have much that can prove I will come back except a sick mother who I take care of and who I wouldn't leave behind even if the word fell apart and emotional stuff is barely anything to the embassy people and they need something practical but I can pay for my own expenses and have my mom's shop which I look after. Small business. Is there no hope for me?

This will not cause them to issue the visitors Visa. They will see t as your relationship is falling apart and yo definitely will not come back. You have the option to try but be realistic they are not likely to issue it. I'm a newlywed who's marriage has been strained due to the this long process and they didn't care, that's not an emergency to them. unless your spouse is terminally ill they say no emergency. It often feels like it's set u to make relationships break apart.Try to work on your relationship and make the best of it. Good Luck!

being tired is not a medical emergency....and if caring for your mother is really that important, how will she survive during your two month absence? And who will take care of her when you get your immigrant visa and leave Nepal for a long long time? That is the inconsistency of your story...your mother cannot need your care, but oddly not need it while you are gone for allegedly two months....the COs are not issuing visas just because somebody wants one....they have to be 101% convinced that the applicant will return....but it sounds like (not surprisingly) that you would rather be with your wife...thus, the issue remains....what, realistically, will be the overwhelming reason(s) that would bring you back instead of camping out, waiting for the paperwork processing to be complete, and then do the ever-popular AOS while in the US?

Then, there is this 'family emergency' of your wife being 'tired.' Why will it take her two months to get rested? Now, you may think this question is rather blunt, but a CO (experienced) will be asking themselves (and you) this question? What is the 'life and death' emergency that requires your presence while your mother is still in dire need of your care? These two items don't mesh. Individually they make little sense; together, they make no sense. This will just look like a pretext to get you to the US, have the mind change at baggage claim, and stay in the US....(while your mother is.....???)

I agree with this post. If being tired would get Visa's issued we'd all do it because our relationships suffer while we are apart from our spouses. They will say who's gonna take care of your mom when you move to US permanently? Sorry, her being tired doesn't qualify. Have to wait impatiently like the rest f us. I'm sure they will gladly take your money and deny you. Sorry not what you want to hear.

I don't have much that can prove I will come back except a sick mother who I take care of and who I wouldn't leave behind even if the word fell apart.

I'm sorry if this sounds cold but you're in the visa process to immigrate to the US, so at one point you are planning on leaving your sick mother behind to move to the US. I mean what were you planning on doing with your mother once your immigration visa is approved?! So your sick mother is not a strong tie to your home country.

Honestly, it's very difficult to get a tourist visa while in the visa process, I even know Scandinavians who have been turned away on the VWP because they were married to a USC and in the immigration process. I mean you have to be prepared to show some pretty strong ties to your home country to get that tourist visa. If money's no issue then try it anyway, all that can happen is that you get a no.

There's a lot of us here who are forced apart from our loved ones for months, some even years, because of this visa process. It's tough but you just have to deal with it. Your wife being sad and missing you is not an emergency. You and your wife needs to find a way to make this visa journey a little easier and not focus on how much you miss each other. For my husband and I, talking about the house we're gonna buy works for us. We spend hours talking about the area, how many rooms, color of the walls, kitchen etc etc. Anything to keep our mind off the fact that we haven't seen each other for almost eight months now, which is a loooooooooooooooong time for us. So you and your wife just need to find something that works for you. Something that you can focus on and can help you cope as a couple.

the answer to Ortolan's question is usually 'answered' with the following: ' my spouse cannot take time off of work because she has too many things to take care of.....and he/she used all of her leave last year....and the airlines only go one way...from (insert the foreign born spouse/fiancé's country here) to the US....(odd)...the USC is always too busy or too sick to travel...I've heard this or something similar when I posed the question to the applicants about 100% of the time....an amazing coincidence that every USC spouse or fiancé all share the same work demands and the same, mysterious illness.

Well to be fair, they do have very little vacation time in the US and they don't really have "employment safety", i.e. you can get fired for just about anything so I do understand why Americans don't want to be away from work for too long.

Being away from your spouse is the worst feeling ever. I think we get frustrated with the distance and time. Finding things to keep the flame burning was difficult for me. I started to ask people in my situation what they did to pass the time. I got some great ideas that led me to a guide to keep the distance out of a long distance relationship. Let me see if I can locate it, and I will forward it to you......Good Luck and hang in there

the fact (true or otherwise) that the American fiancé/spouse chooses not to travel is not a basis for granting someone a B2 visa...what matters is convincing a CO that one would return after a visit instead of rushing down to the USCIS office and apply for an AOS...and applicants from developing countries face even more scrutiny due to their historic abuse of B2 visas. However fair or unfair someone believes this to be won't affect the outcome of a visa interview.
