Hello I am a United States citizen and my wife is permanent resident we would like to bring my wife's nephews from Costa Rica to visit the United States and were wondering what is the process for them to get a tourist visa as they are minors one of them is 17 years old the other one is 16 and the other one is 13 years old what are the chances of them getting a visa as their trip will be sponsored by me ,please advise thank you

1. There is no sponsoring tourist visas. It's a huge misconception by foreigners. The applicants must apply on their own and show ties to their own home country. If asked they can say they will be visiting and staying with you for the duration. But there has never been sponsorship requirements for visitor visas.

2. There are no visas whether immigrant or non-immigrant for nieces or nephews.

3. If they are under age they would have to show the permission to travel from their parents.

Thank very much! We were understanding that we could sponsor their trip meaning we would cover all of their expenses during the time they were going to be staying here at our home however being the fact they are minors and are all still in school that it would be somewhat complicated in order for them to apply for the visa given the fact that none of the parents have a visa currently as they are not planning to travel anytime soon ,They are active students and we would really like for them to come and visit .

They apply, like any other prospective tourist.

Their parents can apply for the visa on behalf of the kids, and will probably need to accompany the kids to the interview at the US embassy.

There is nothing wrong with you paying for their plane ticket and touristy things in the USA, but it won;t help them get the visa. They need to show reasons they will return; the fact that their parents are not coming may help. Also, enrollment in school for next semester.
