Minor b2 visitor visa

[ssingh 0]

I have been looking for any help, but can't find anything.

My husbands nephew would like to visit us from India. Passport and everything is done. Interview is not required as he is under 14. My question is how are his chances of traveling unaccompanied. He will be set up with United airline with airline help, straight flight Delhi to jfk.

What else should I send apart from itenirary. We also are sending a notarized letter taking responsibility while he's here including financial and health. He will be stay with us for 4 weeks. We are applying for b2 visa. Any chances they will not let him travel alone?

He will have united airline crew help which they charge extra for when you buy a ticket.

Anyone has any experience or any help. Please advise

Thank u

The visa process really doesn't have anything to do with travel arrangements. If they ask, just like you have explained, you let them know he will be traveling as unaccompanied minor - meaning the airline crew will be responsible for him for an extra fee like you mentioned.

The parents or legal guardians need to have a letter permitting whoever is taking responsibility for the minors travels. I'm sure the airline will let you know exactly what they require.

About the visa itself, every applicant be it adult or minor needs to schedule interview. I don't know if the age requirement for India is different but usually minors 13 years and below are not required to be present for the interview; only the parent or legal guardian. Since he is 14 he may have to be present at the interview unless age requirement is different for India like I said.

I hope this helps

Is he travelling alone?? If so, it's highly unlikely that he will be allowed entry to US or even to the plane without proper travel permit like a visa. As said, only if he was travelling with his parents or legal guardian, then he doesn't need to appear for interview which is not the case here.

Highly unlikely to get a B2 visa under these circumstances but if you have a spare $160 then apply.

Anyone else?? Anyone know if a child. An visit?

Lots of children travel by themselves.

There is no problem about a child visiting or getting a visa. A lot of children get visas everyday to travel without a parent or guardian. It's not out of the ordinary. The visa decision is not based on who the child is traveling with. So long as you have all the right paperwork and the consular thinks the child qualifies for a visa, No problem.

iThe visa can be applied for, if he obtain one he can fly by himself with

flight attendant at his service (at a cost) and they clears him through

customs and immigration then turn him over to the person on record to accept

him they must have ID for the pick up and should be in the US legally.

Children are mainly expected to travel when school is out summer

You have to check with the airlines for their requirements for international flights and unaccompanied minors.
