Hi everyone,

My brother is on Conditional PR since 2 years.

Me(single) and my mom(widow)wants to visit him.

What documents should I need to apply for Visitor Visa?

My friend wants to sponsor me for Visitor Visa.

What to do and how to process it?

Thank you...

Nobody can sponsor a tourist visa (despite the common myth that it's possible, especially common in India). You apply for the visa, bring/show ties to return home after your visit, and hope for the best. The only thing to lose is the $160 application fee. Good luck!

If you and your mom want to visit your brother as a tourist in the USA then you will need to apply for a VISA to do so as you know.   All you need is to do is go to the USA embassy web-site and pay for the VISA application cost.  ( $160 USD each).  Once you've paid then you can fill up the DS-160 online and request an interview at the US embassy.   You do not need anything from your brother.  There is no way that a US citizen or PR can be a sponsor for a visa.   You and your mother have to have sufficient ties to India to show that you will not stay in the USA when you visit is over.  You and your mother each have to be prepared to provide significant ties back to India,   things like a job with a high salary, home or land ownership etc.   Honestly speaking I believe your chances are not very good.  But you can try and the only thing you have to lose is the $320 USD and the time / money spent attending and traveling to the interview.   Good Luck.   If your brother provides an invite letter or any information for this it will likely not be helpful and could potentially hurt your chances of approval.
