Hello, 

this is the situation:

 

An undocumented family member of mine is in a relationship with a woman who is also undocumented. She left behind a 6-year-old child in her country (El Salvador) and has been told she could apply for her daughter to get a tourist visa. Is this correct? Will the child get approved? Is there a way to get her here legally although her mother is undocumented and father MIA? Currently the child is under the care of family members and the mother would very much love to see her child again.

Meeting Tourist Visa requirements is unlikely, imo.  I think mother traveling back to El Salvador might be the best chance of this happening.

you would have to prove to CO that both father and mother (this illegal) give permission for the 6 year old to be come to US?

Who would go to the embassy for an interview to show documents for a tourist visa?

who would meet child at airport ? an illegal US resident?

U do realize on any petition parent(s) name and address with US status would be needed? is this illegal mother willing to tell  ICE where she lives?

 

Illegals may have many benefits like a job,  DL in some states,  even a SS # but applying for a petition for a family member is not one of them/she's here illegally

 

she should follow the steps to acquire legal residency

Create a provisional legal status.

Undocumented immigrants must come forward and register, submit biometric data, pass criminal background and national security checks, and pay fees and penalties before they will be eligible for a provisional legal status

 

God bless her

Mother can go an see the child whenever she wants.

 

No one is going to believe this would be anything other than a one way trip.

How's she even attepemtung a B-2 for daughter yet herself is illegal in US? 

 

This is akin to a tax evader asking IRS to come see his mountain of physical cash, knowing fully well they don't pay taxes. 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
