Visitor visa to the states...

[tsap seui]

I didn't know where to put this post. What do I need to do to help someone get their visitors visa, and what will they need.. to do...and to have... in China for an interview at the Shenyang consulate? My mind is a dust ball on this. Somebody please help me to at least turn the dust into being clear as mud.

My wife's Mum is visiting us this summer, it basically involves having the visitor fill out a DS-160 online.

When my lady and I went to Europe last summer, she basically went through the standard procedure and filled out all the paperwork. However, at her visa interview, she was denied because she is young and unmarried and they were afraid about her intentions.

 

However, with the Schengen visa, you have the opportunity to appeal if you are denied.

 

So, we basically prepared everything as we will for our US family based visa at some point in the future. Basically outlined our relationship, showed that even though she isn't married we've been together for 4 years and have future marriage plans, don't have intent to remain in Europe because our jobs and "life" are currently in Beijing, etc etc etc. Included pictures, I wrote a letter, and more of the same.

 

In the end, she was given the visa and we had a wonderful 2 weeks visiting friends in Austria and Sweden.

 

Perhaps you could do the same, include this type of evidence to present strong ties to China when they go to the embassy/consulate for their interview.
