Hi all,

 

My wife would like to bring down her mother in law from Romania for a visit to the US. However her situation may not sound all that great for getting a tourist visa:

 

  • Used to have home under her name, but now it is under my wife's name
  • She is a widow, but lives with her boyfriend
  • She is not employed. She and her boyfriend live off of his income
  • Does not speak English (Would this be a concern for the visa interview?)

 

We also don't have children and aren't bringing her here for childcare or anything of the like. Just for a simple visit to spend some time with us.

 

Considering the above, do any of you think she would have a shot at obtaining a tourist visa or will it most likely be declined? Would appreciate any suggestions that could help strengthen her case as well.

 

Thanks

I agree with above.  All she can do is try........but she will have to qualify on her own.

I agree with the others.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
