It s been a while since I have been on this forum, but I m coming to you once again for advice on a visa application, this time for my in-laws. When my husband received his residency, we filed for tourist visas for his parents and a sister that has Down s syndrome. They went for their interviews in Juarez and were not approved, reason sited was 214(b), due to a lack in strength of ties to their home country presented.
I contacted an attorney and she said it would be very difficult to get a tourist visa for them and that the best option for bringing them to the U.S. would be to file for residency for them after he became a U.S. citizen. To me that seemed crazy, but from what I have researched so far, it appears that may be true.
So, my husband is now a citizen and we re wanting to bring his parents to the U.S. to visit. What is the best process? Their goal really isn t to live in the U.S. but we wouldn t be opposed to residency if that is the best option. Thanks in advance for your help!
