GETTING MY FILIPINO MOTHER-IN-LAW TO VISIT US IN THE UNITED STATES

[EA10 1]

VJ,

Good Afternoon and Happy Holiday to everyone.

My wife and I are living in South Carolina. She came to the U.S. on a CR-1 visa (POE was Dallas/Fort Worth on Aug 28th, 2012). We were living in Japan before we came to the states. I am in the military. We have a 2 month old son and we really would like it if my mother-in-law could finally see and spend time with him.

We would like her mother, my mother-in-law, to visit us. She lives in Manila, Philippines.

I have been looking things up on here and on the US Embassy site for Manila.

We assume she would come over here on a B-2.

It states on the site all she needs to do is fill out the DS-160, have a valid passport, and a passport size photo.

Do you think it would be necessary to send them my bank info, pay stubs, letter requesting her to visit, etc.

Any information on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Any examples of letters sent or guides would be helpful as well.

Thank you all!

EA

I would write an invitation letter, outline her length of stay etc., give it a shot.

Yeah, I was thinking about doing that. I dont see how sending that stuff would hurt. If they dont even look at it, o well, atleast it will be in there if needed.

These items are not necessary, not needed, and would make no difference for your mother in-law's visa application. Her visa application will be decided based on what her ties to the Philippines are.

I read that. She has a job, home, etc in the Philippines. So I hope it wont be a problem.
