Hello everyone,

I need everyone advise plz.

I would like to invite my mom here in the US for a visit, but I just do not know how to start or process her paperworks or what paperworks do I need? Anyway my mom is in the Philippines, she never been out of the country.

Just like anyone else wanting to visit the USA, she goes to the nearest US Consulate and applies for a tourist visa.

Thanks YUandDan. So, in other words my mom should do all the filing and not me. I could not do anything with the process or apply for her. I am just worried coz my mom never been out of the country and I'm unsure if everything will turn out the way it should be. Thanks anyway, the link is very informative.

You can send mother a letter of invite and perhaps an I-134 to show that you will support her when she is here, but she is the one applying for the visa at the consulate.

A good post on another forum giving you an idea what you can do to help is this: http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?...ost&p=94823
