mikeymark Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Should not have a problem, the visa renewal does not involve an interview.That's encouraging news. Thanks for your response. Link to comment

Greg.D. Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 My mother in law will arrive in a few days to help with the baby for about a month. She has mentioned she may be able to extend her stay .... esp if needed. Is that something she would mention at the port of entry? Or, wait and try to apply to the NIS to "extend status"? We wouldn't want an overstay and don't want to cause any trouble at the POE since she can't speak English. Thanks! Link to comment

If needing longer than that you can try filing an I-539 to extend stay, this can be done later and no need to indicate this at the POE. https://www.uscis.gov/i-539 Link to comment
Greg.D. Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thanks for the info re the departure date and 6 months being fairly routine. That should give her the flexibility she needs. 6 Months is way out of the question and she has to get back to work anyway! Link to comment
Hapa77 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 my MIL and BIL both tried to get a visiting visa they hired a lawyer but still got denied twice. my wife said i should call the consulate and complain she said the lawyer told her i am allowed up to 4 visitors visa request. but how can i complain?? it would be an international call. she also told me that my address came up not valid ( i lived here for 7 years). and i own this house. should they just try again since this year Chinese tourist has dropped to a new low in the US Link to comment
MikeandRong Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 If MIL happens to be widowed, it seems regardless of compelling evidence that a tourist visa is getting issued there last few months (overstay with intent, better life with her child). A married BIL with job and assets together with the compelling evidence for some reason seems to be easier to receive. We have first hand experience with both these last 9 months. MIL widowed denied twice, BIL and 20 something nephew each applying separate both got it. If you are writing an invitation letter are you copying a picture of your drivers liscense on the face of the letter? That should prove your current address/residence. Last suggestion is have them make a couple of small out of country tours with a group. Go to Japan or Thailand for a couple of weeks. Build up the passport showing travel and return. It helped us and certainly can't hurt. Just spread it out a bit and look natural. Link to comment
dnoblett Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 We had siminar situation, my mum-in-law and Sister-in-law applied for visit visas and were denied, so 6 months later MIL alone applied and was granted. Mum-in-law is a widow, but applying for the visa and sister-in-law remaining behind probably showed ties to the home country. In both cases we provide an I-134 and a letter of invite indicating some of the things we planned on doing when she would be here. Sometimes you need to simplify and apply for just the one visa, and try again a couple times Link to comment

bullmastiff Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi ; I applied I-130 for my step son as US citizen minor child ( he's 13 yo) . The application was received on Feb 27 . We still have not heard anything from USCIS -TSC since the first notice. Now, he is on 2 month summer off school . Can I apply for his tourist visa to visit the US ? what's the chance of him getting one ? given the fact that I already filed for an immediate relative petition . Thanks. Link to comment
