Supporting Documents for Sponsoring Mother for Visitor’s Visa

[randrb 17]

 

I would like to sponsor my mother to apply for a visitor’s visa to come to the US from Morocco. I am in the US on a Green Card- my wife is an American citizen. 

Last year, we had very little income, as we were in the process of starting a business. We just made our first money from it a month ago and will be well over the poverty line for this tax year. I also have a second job as a coach, since last Sept. I had $7000 of reportable wages from it last year and will have around $20k this year. 

Is there a way for me to prove my income this year, before I do my taxes? And will this be sufficient to the gov’t to prove we are financially able to take care of my mother while she is in the states?

Multiple old threads covering this type of question and most will say the same thing; you can't really sponsor anyone for a visitor visa. They must be able to show their own strong ties to their home country and finances available to pay for themselves. The fact you are in the US as a GC holder could in some cases even be a negative towards them getting one. They just need to apply on their own merit and try.

 

You can send all the documents you want but the embassy does not even have to look at them honestly.

So why do you think USCIS care about your money or jobs when its your mother trying to get tourist visa based on her ties to her country?

Your mother is eligible to for an immigrant Visa. It will be difficult to obtain a B2. She can try, but no guarantees. Casa is tough.

As others have said, your income isn't considered at all because there is no sponsorship for visitor visas. 

 

She will need to prove strong ties to Morocco. She will need to include proof like having a family (husband and children) that she will want to return to in Morocco. If she is employed, a letter from the employer. If she ownes any property, that can be used as a tie. If she has ever traveled outside of Morocco, evidence that she has returned on time with no overstays. A combination of all these types of evidence will be useful. 

 

Yes, Casablanca can be strict, but I have seen several visitor visas for parents being approved recently. It's all about being able to prove strong ties to Morocco.

No she is not.. not at the moment. 

 

OP has a green card received a year ago, and cannot sponsor a parent until he is a USC, the earliest being 3+ yrs from now.

I meant to say "will be" and you are correct.
