My Wife is from the Philippines.. She really wants to bring her 15 year old Sister to the USA to Visit.

Her family is very poor.. Is there anyway at all we can sponsor her sister for a tourist Visa?

From what I have heard it is very hard for Filipinos to get a tourist visa. Since it is impossible for a 15 year old to have a bank account and work history and own property like they require of adult Filipinos to receive a tourist visa. what are the requirements for a minor?

No way that I have found other than sponsoring through a school visa and you picking up the tab. My wife's sisters were denied B2s a couple of months ago but they are in their 30s.

With that said, it is still worth her trying for a B2, only thing at risk is a couple of hundred dollars. If you don't try, odds are zero!

You might also try to time it as a "summer vacation" while school is out there.

At 15 her ties are to her schooling and parents.

I had a bank account at that age.
