Hello, I'm new to this forum. I'm currently a J-1 visa holder under the Teacher Exchange Program and I'm from the Philippines. I've been in the USA for just about 4 months. My question is can I invite my 21 year old unmarried son to come visit me here in the US in the winter holidays maybe. He's still in college and in his 3rd year already. It would be the first time for him to apply for a visa. I will be sponsoring his trip and he'll be staying at my apartment. Is there be chance for him to be approved a tourist visa? What are the other documents he needs to bring on his embassy interview aside an Invitation Letter from me and an Itinary? Does he need to show a proof of funds? If so, how much would it be, if he's gonna stay for about 30-60 Days? I would like to ask for your opinions/suggestions regarding this matter. Thank you very much and hope to hear from you soon!

Additional info:
My husband and two minor children (ages 14 and 17) will be applying for J-2 dependent visas this coming October or November.

He has to prove his own ties to the country that show he has strong reasons that he will return abroad. Letters of support or invitation have no merit in tourist visa cases. Also, younger people who are single have no job or property will have a much harder time getting approved. Here is a link with B2 visa info.

He can also try for a student (F1) visa, but he has to apply to a school here. That he way he can stay here to finish his school. For this visa category I think they accept an affidavit of support I-134, or letter of support but I'm not sure. Here is a link with F1 visa info.

If he does not apply then we know the result, only way of finding out is to apply.
