Hello all,

 

My wife is a green hard holder, I am a US citizen. We want to know the best way for her parents or siblings to enter the country for travelling purposes.

Now I heard of couple things. Sponsorship was one idea. Her brother in law wouldn't mind coming here for work if he had the oppurtunity.

Any how, if you had experience or know the best way to make this possible please comment below. Also, please let me know which form or forms it would start with.

 

Thank you so much in advance.

Tourist visa. B2. The only option.

He can't come in just like that and work. Opportunity doesn't matter. He would need a work visa/work permit.

They need to apply ON THEIR OWN for B2 visa.

You do nothing. Your wife does nothing. There is not sponsorship for tourist visa for family. Brother cannot work on tourist visa.

Please keep in one thread

ok, whats the idea behind sponsorship?

There is no other option, there is no sponsorship for tourist visa.

 

Unless they want to permanently live in the US - your wife can apply for them AFTER she becomes US citizen.

so parents fill our b2. what would he have to fill out or do if he wanted to work here. or what do i fill out? 

You don't fill out anything. You don't need to do anything. The family fill out their own forms.

 

The brother cannot work. You can't do anything about it. If he's competent, has amazing work experience and education he can pursue work visa BUT it's not easy process and you are not involved in it.

If your inlaws are interested in visiting the US, then you and your wife leave them be to prove ties to their country. Tourist visas have no sponsorship factor.

 

If your brother inlaw is interested in coming to the US to work, then he would have to apply for a work permit/visa also known as an Employment Authorization Document but he must have a US employer filing an I129 Petition for non-immigrant worker.

Plenty of good info above re tourist visa, just to clarify on this: once your wife is a citizen, then (assuming this is still allowed at that stage) she can sponsor her sister and family (including brother in law as spouse and any children still unmarried and under 21 at the time of visa interview) under an F4 sibling visa. The issue here is time: not only do you need to wait for your wife to become a citizen, but the current wait time for F4 is around 14 years, and getting progressively longer.

If one obtains a work visa and enters on it, no need for a separate EAD.
