Need Help! Mother-in-law!

[Caleb J 1]

Hey guys! How’s it going? Little about this case: So my wife is Brazilian and she’s immigrated to the U.S about a year and a half ago. Her conditional greencard expires at the end of the year(not sure if this will affect her mother getting a tourist visa).

 

My mother-in-law wants to come

visit her daughter who she hasn’t seen for over a year now. If all goes well she will be traveling with her other daughter who has a tourist visa and a grandaughter who’s a u.s citizen by consular birth abroad.

 

My question is can her mother obtain a tourist visa with a daughter living in the U.S? How can we improve her chances? Tips? She has no intention of immigrating. Here are some things:

 

•She’s owna a restaurant.

 

•She has a car in her name.

 

•Owns a piece of Land/property.

 

•Both daughters are married to American citizens. One daughter is a permanent resident living in the U.S and other daughter makes short yearly visits to the U.S. Her granddaughter is an American citizen.

 

•None of her family violated any visa laws.

 

So can these things help or hinder? Will she need to show any stronger ties to her country to obtain a tourist visa? Thanks!!

 

Regards, Caleb.

There is nothing you can do to change or influence the outcome. She will be granted or denied based on her own personal circumstances. 

 

Thr fact that other family mrmbers "never violated visa laws" doesn't make any difference. I'll wager a good majority of overstayers come from families where no one else overstayed.

Hi. My parents just got approved for B2 visas. 

 

How old is your mom in law?

 

Mine are both retired. Assets are not required nor asked for. The key is being consistent with their answers during the interview and what they wrote on the DS160. 

 

Good luck!

Mine are both 71 years old.

That is probably the key to why they were approved

I think so too. However not all the time. I’ve seen  other posts here where the parent is also elderly (like mine) but still got a denial.
