I'm by no means an expert on it but she may have to prove that she has no immigrant intent - like show things that prove strong ties to her home country. You can check it out on http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1262.html. Good luck. Link to comment

Randy W Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) I'm sure Tine will help you more than I can, but to pass along what I know from Chinese friends, send her a letter of invitation which tells how long she will stay (6 months or less) and where she will stay. Include an afidavit of support. She will apply to her embassy/consulate in China for the B-2, and get an interview approx. 1 month later. She needs to bring proof of ties to China - papers concerning her home, job, pictures of family and friends in China, etc. She may apply for an extension after the 6 months, but I have heard that some people are turned down on subsequent applications for "overstaying" their visa, even though they got the extension. So she should plan on staying only 6 months for the first trip. Edited August 24, 2005 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment
