Wanting mom to visit (split)

Lately, I have been reading a lot about having a parent visit the US. I would like to once again express my gratitude toward VJ community! I have had smooth sails with all procedures related to visas and immigration thanks to this place.

 

I am a GC holder (became LPR in August 2018). I helped my mother fill out the DS-160 application and she was approved her visa today. She was asked the following questions:

 

1) Where are you going?

2) Who are you visiting?

3) Have you ever traveled to other countries?

4) Are you employed?

5) With who do you live?

6) Does your son (me) and his wife have a kid?

7) What is your son's birthday?

8 ) How long has your son been in the US?

9) Where does your son work?

 

My mom is a homemaker taking care of her grandchildren while other family members work. She does not work and she has not traveled anywhere in the last 35 years. She answered all the questions honestly and was approved her visa. She does not speak English and had translator during her interview. The officer did not request any of the documents that my mom brought with her. It took a total of 4 minutes and she was out. 

 

By the way, B2 visa denial rate in my country is about 62%.

 

Hope this will help others as much as other posts have helped me!

 

Good luck with your own journeys!

Each visitor visa case is different. What country would the mom be applying from?

~~Hijacked post and reply split off to a thread of it's own. Please do not post questions for your own case in other members threads. It does cause confusion to the thread.~~

She will need to apply and show strong ties and reasons for returning to Pakistan.  If she does not speak English, I believe the consulate interview will be done in her language.
