Hi, my wife who already has a permanent green card would like to have her parents come and visit us for a few weeks from Ecuador to USA. They are poor, no money in the bank, they own a car which they use to work as a taxi, and they own their house (their only child is my wife). I would like them to come as tourist in the summer.

Aside from getting their passport, can some one tip me or give me advise on what to do next?

where to go and apply for tourist visa, appointment, documents i need to fill out, doc i need to show, do i need a letter of invitation, affidavit of support (as i would be buying tickets and pay for their expenses), etc.

Also, i don't know if this helps but, my wife works and i work and own a house, i am also an U.S. Veteran.

Anything where to start from would help, thank you.

Did you wife visit you, if she did then basically it is the same process. Really it is their application and you can of course help them apply and by the sound of it will be funding everything. Be aware that as described they probably do not have the strongest case.

“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.”

You and your wife really play no role in the process of her parents applying for visitor visas.  They need to apply with their own merits and their ties to home.  They will attend an interview and they will need to overcome the assumption that they would overstay and attempt to adjust status. 

 

They do not need to be able to fund their own trip (you can pay for it all, and there is a question on the form about this), but they will face an uphill battle in proving intent to return to Ecuador with few assets and their only child being an LPR here.

 

No letter of invitation or affidavit of support is required (or accepted) in determining a decision.

 

Veteran status is not a consideration.

my mother in law is here now

also from quite a poor family ( Guayaquil)

it is not as difficult to get a tourist visa from Ecuador as from other countries

she was allowed to do the interview in Spanish as she speaks hardly any English

owning their own home and having the car for the taxi business will help

you will be allowed to show you can pay their travel and living expenses while here

be sure the ticket is round trip and they don't overstay (need to plan on leaving the USA a few days before the visa expiration date as weather can hold up a flight and cause overstaying a visa)

no children left to go back to is the one thing that will be difficult (to show they have no intent to AOS and stay here )

would help if they had parents that needed their care and/or attention
