Hi Everyone,
My brother has a 12 year old child out of wedlock in the Philippines and the child wants to visit us here in the US for the first time. The child currently lives with the mother and would just want to visit and not be petitioned or to live permanently here. Mother has no B1/B2 visa. My brother left for the US when the child was 3 years old but has not gone back to the Philippines since then although he supported the child financially and they constantly communicated. Would it be possible for the child's US citizen father to accompany on a B2 tourist visa application in the Philippines and the child be approved? Any insights, recommendations, or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
