1. I am divorced.

2. no American boyfriend.

3. What is wrong with my picture?

4. Probably the word "immigrate" I have used in the wrong meaning I should say to come.

So do I need any docs signed by my child's father as do not know where is he now.

Thanks.

I don't think he meant something literally wrong with your picture. I think it's just an idiom or something

Lol anyway, honestly speaking i do not have much faith in the application of tourist visas. They would

Need you to bring land titles or any document that would prove you have any property here that you will

Come back to. You also need to show them employment certificate, tax returns, a letter from your boss

That you are only on leave for a certain period of time and you will come back if you have a job. If you have a business, you have to bring business permits and show the consul that this business is still operating. Your daughter should also prove that you are coming back because your daughter is still in school and needs to finish her studies. But then again, no matter how many documents you bring. If the consul can sense in your body language that you have an ulterior motive of staying. He will no longer ask for documents

P. s you also need to know where you are staying, you also need to show bank statements that you can afford to go on a vacation and spend money there.

"....

Hello, to all the community.

I want to immigrate from Ukraine to US with my daughter. I have aunt who lives n US and as fare as I know she has USC. Who can advise me what kind of Visa I should apply for to come and stay in US. ...."

this statement does not sound like someone wishing to travel to the US for tourism.....your grasp of English appears strong enough to have the vocabulary that separates the two objectives. Three seconds after some replies informed you that your aunt cannot file a petition for you, you now miraculously want information on tourist visas....rest assured that far too many Ukranians have used (or tried to obtain to use) a B2 visa to immigrate to the US....so it's doubtful that a CO will be fooled.

The application fee is miniscule compared to the overall cost, apply and see.

Since you are just going on vacation with your daughter, I don't believe you need any release authorization from your ex.

I don't know if anybody here has noted that you are in a war zone, in Ukraine. Hopefully you are well away from the fighting! ​

Normal to require other Parents permission to take a child out of a country.

[LookyWhatIFound 38]

So what would one do if ex is out of the picture and whereabouts unknown? Just curious.

[Boiler 43,506]

They would have a court order.

[Boiler 43,506]

A visa is not in it essence a chance based process.

All that the OP has shared is that hse is a teacher, teaches English in a school, and is a single mother.

I am assuming that this is not a well paid occupation in Ukraine, so can only assume there is something else that allows her to contemplate spending summer in the US.
