Tourist Visa for my Mom

[VNN 147]

Bringing some Invitation letter or some statement of sponsorship can ease applicant’s mind that he/she tries his best, then do it. At least the applicant won’t feel bad for not bringing them and these things do not take much work to compose.

Think of it as a placebo, has been discussed many times and giving one makes the applicant happy then why not.

Having letters is great as when the visa is denied we can hear stuff like, "The CO wouldn't even look at the information and letters I brought"

 

Just don't expect it to impact the decision......

No friends, no relatives, no financial support in the US, no reason to stay. young single female, get married and stay. This is what I would think.

Incorrect

 

The person applying for a Tourist visa is the petitioner

 

Let me help you out:

 

pe·ti·tion·er

/pəˈtiSH(ə)nər/

noun

noun: petitioner; plural noun: petitioners

1. a person who presents a petition to an authority in respect of a particular cause.

   "petitioners gathered about 70,000 signatures for the initiative"

   • Law

     a person who makes a formal application to a court for a writ, judicial action in a suit, etc.

     "the claim by the petitioner for spousal support is dismissed"

USCIS doesn't use the term petitioner for B visas.. They use the word applicant.

 

USCIS sees petitioner as the person who makes a formal application for another person, as stated in your response above. A B visa is at the discretion of the CO.

It is for her mother, not for her. I get what you're saying, but I don't know how accurate it is.
