Just a couple of follow-up questions (maybe silly, but just paranoid) to the above: me and wife trying to help wife's mom (wife has green card for 1.5 years) apply for tourist visa, who lives in Shanghai. 1) does the invitation letter need to be in english and chinese (wife's mom can't read english)? i will be writing the invitation letter. wife will be going back to shanghai in a few weeks to visit parents. can she just give them the letter? or it's better i mail it so there's a "stamped" date on it. 2) Writing english only for the letter to VO is fine? Do they need chinese too? 2) should wife accommodate her mom to the US embassy? or better if mom go to the interview alone? 3) i believe she's receiving pension/retirement income, but she is definitely still working (very low income job). bringing both of these support documents should make the case stronger, correct? Or either one is okay? i also intend to fill out a i-134 for her(just in case...). 4) her dad won't applying for a visa. he doesn't like to fly (phobia, i guess...?). sounds funny, but would this be a valid reason to tell VO if asked "why your husband not applying with you" ? thanks for the help and advice!
