Hi .. good evening everyone 

I'm on the k1 Visa process right now and hopefully I'm going to move to the USA this year so me and my fiance were thinking to take my mom with me when I go there for the first two weeks I just want her to be with me on my weeding day 

She doesn't work but she have my little brother and she can't leave him alone for a long time ! 

If we apply for her do she have a good chance to obtain the tourist Visa? 

Looking for any advice that can help us . Thank you 😊😊

Other than her son (which isn't really a tie since people  leave their children all the time), what other ties does she have to her home country?

My guess would lean towards no, Tunisia tends to do "Guilty until proven innocent" in terms of tourist visas. Basically, it's a no unless you can really provide enough ties to the country... At least, that is the experience my husband (form tunisia) and I had.

Nothing basically!! I don't knock how I can show them that she won't over stay she only wants me to be with me there

Your husband applied for tourist Visa for his parents also ?

Her chances are pretty slim, then...

 

You said earlier that she doesn't work----home ownership?   How does she support herself? 

Has she traveled to other countries before and can show a history of not overstaying?

We had his mom do it later, after he arrived in the US. They ended up approving it the day before our wedding. So she couldn't come out but she now is free to visit for the next 10 years. She had relatively strong ties though: she owns a business, she is married and still has a kid in school, and she owns property that she manages. Khalil's dad applied through seperate channels because he works for the gov't and he needed a more thorough reason to leave and come back.

CR1 would have been a more obvious route.

I don't really know when it comes to these kind of things. I'm from a visa waiver country so when I visited my husband I only needed to show a return flight and employment proof. So I would suggest having a return flight and if she still works getting confirmation from her employer to say she is employed and taking holiday and will return back to work. Or maybe booking a flight for a week instead of 2? I wish you every luck and hope you get to have your mum at your wedding.

So going completely against the advice not just from this forum but also the US Consulate?

Why is it going against that though?! I don't understand why they wouldn't be able to visit for a holiday and see their son get married 😕
