Mother in law an two children (20 and 13 yo) want to come to US from Colombia for three weeks for the birth of our baby. Question: Do they need each an individual application and individual interview at Embassy?

Thank you!!!

They will each need an application. The MIL and the 13 year old could be interviewed together and possibly the 20 yr old too. They must keep in mind these cases are decided more on the merits of the docs rather than the interview. Being granted these visas will totally hinge on the ability to prove beyond doubt they MUST return. This can be very hard to do especially for the majority of a family trying to travel together especially to join with another part of the family.

The only way to know is to try but you may save money by advising them to try the MIL and 13 yr old first because its very unlikely the 20 yr old will be granted a visa.

yes

Thank you both!!!

MIL already completed her application and included the two children as travelers with her in her application (not in separate applications). She requested the interview at the US embassy Colombia and paid $160.00 and. Does any of you know where is the Thank you page? It looks like she can add them there, but can't find it.

Again, thanks for reply.

Well, she has stated she will be travelling with her two children but they each have to submit individual applications and pay the visa fees. They need to prove their ties to Colombia such as studies, independent income, jobs and so on.
