    As far as I know, they ask...

    And as far as I would like - THEY SHOULD ASK...smile...

     

    It DEFINITELY came up on the form when we applied.

    And the link looks like it was dated - 11/01/2019...which is pretty recent...so..there is that!

    What I'm trying to figure our is why isn't that question about trips to other countries showing up on the ds160 form I'm filling out not if the CO gonna ask or not.

    Regarding Travel...

    There is a section on the DS-160 that asks about countries visited in the last five years within the Additional Work/Education/Training Section, as shown below (see second question).

    Also, your passport is provided as part of the interview process. They can then inspect it to see if it shows any travel.

    And, of course, it can be mentioned orally, at the interview.

    OK now I'm very confused... I don't recall that section... Are u sure that's from a ds160 for a tourist visa?

    Visiting other countries isn’t relevant for a case like this unless she also has a kid and easy means to immigrate wherever else she has travelled. That will be the concern of the CO in this instance - general travel and return might be more meaningful for, say, a mid-20s single person with a take-it-or-leave-it job.

    We're just gonna hope for a CO with a bit of mercy lol. Either way it would be worth the try and if we have to reply later at least we will have a better idea.

    Yeah, I feel ya frustration.

    You would just like for your mom to be able to come to the US and see family.

    Something which is much more serious and meaningful than wanting to sight-see and shop. Agreed.

    And the fact that the refusal rate for Morocco applicants was 28% in 2019 and 40%+ in 2018 says what statistics says - What has happened in the past, overall.

    As gross statistics do, it does not speak to the "chances" for any particular person/applicant.

    Some people have closer to a 0% chance, and some have a much higher chance, all based on their particulars.

     

    Totally understand the attractiveness of being able to have grandparents, siblings, family members, in general, visit.

    What we need to do is have better mechanisms for dealing with those who want to come, and those who come and later overstay.

    But our methods right now are pretty brute force. Sorry about that.

     

    That is why your asking about people from Morocco, in a similar circumstance, makes sense.

    The more gross-level averages and stats are not enough. We feel ya.

    Can only say that given what we can tell, it seems like your mom's chances are lower than anyone would like, even though she, in particular,  has done nothing wrong.

    Why penalize her for the actions of others???!! We hear ya.

     

    And the often suggested idea of trying to improve chances by "visiting" other countries, is really only window-dressing in many cases. We all know it was for appearances and to increase US visa chances.

     

    Wish I could say something more helpful tactically.

    Like you said, you have or will apply. We will see.

    Keep doing your research, and doing what you can.

    Best wishes to ya, Tarik.

    And do, let us know.

     

     

    Thx for the input.. She has visited Saudi Arabia for a month 2 years ago. But I didn't see any questions about previous visit to other countries in ds160.

    This is what I know:  It usually harms, not helps an applicant when an immediate family member waves dollars for them from the US.  You’ll figure it out.  

     

    I think u misunderstood.. I'm not sending any money from the US to anywhere.. I simply stated my mother will be staying at my house and of course I'll be taking care of her while she's staying with us... I mean should I charge her for food and rent 🤔... Either way I already submitted the application and we will find out soon enough 😊

    Just because you don’t like a comment doesn’t make it false. The US is full of people who have left the family ties they used to get a b visa behind and yes, that includes people from morocco. It’s already been explained to you how a CO may (may, not definitely will) view the application in that context. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t make it unhelpful.

    I disagree.. If I already know the info and it's just copy/pasted from ustravel website that makes it unhelpful to me. In my original post I mentioned I already read everything these is to read. And asked for help from people who actually went through similar situation...but yeah I appreciate the effort.

    No point shooting the messengers. You want to know why it could be refused, people are telling you. Acting insulted and throwing shade back at people like “maybe where you come from” neither strengthens your mother’s case, nor makes people inclined to try help. High refusal rates for your country are not the fault of anyone here, and yes are objectively in large part due to history of previous overstays by your country’s nationals. 

    Nah I think you missed why I responded that way.. Read the original comment that was said and you'd understand.. 

    Visa journey has helped me and thousands of other people.. I miss the days people came here for help and got.. Now it seems it's more like Facebook. Most people commentibg just to collect likes and hearts.

    I’m from the UK. The overstay rate for Moroccans is 5 times the rate for UK citizens. That’s why we are able to use the VWP:

     

    https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/cbp_-_fiscal_year_2018_entry_exit_overstay_report.pdf

    Total overstay fir Morocco is 463 people.. Total overstay for uk 14215 people... 🙄😒🙄... U sure u know what u talking about? 😂  And don't tell me the percentage lol.. We're talking actual people living in USA.

    You can thank all your fellow country folk who applied for tourist visas to visit children and grandchildren here and then decided not to go home. They are the ones who have confirmed the suspicions of consular officers that people applying for visitor visas to see family members are intending to stay and adjust. 

    It's not common for women here in morocco to just leave their husband, other children and family just to move to USA... Might be different where you're from though.

    It isn't

    owning property in her name

    having a bank account

    and/or a job to return to

     

    and yes,  we tried it and from Morocco like you,  got denied for MIL

    mostly as she can not read and write

    but now,  we applied without any documents from us and she was approved and coming this summer

    So what has changed since you applied the first time other than not including any documents from you?

    Hello,

    I'm a US citizen and my wife is a Green Card holder. My mother-in-law, who lives in Ukraine, wants to visit us. She's retired and her retirement income is not sufficient to cover her trip, so I'll be paying for her trip to the US.

    What documents/proof of finances do I need to provide, if I list myself in the "Person/Entity Paying for Your Trip" field on the DS-160 application?

    Thank you for any suggestions.

    HI, I'm in a similar situation except I'm a US citizen and paying for my mother.. Any updates on your case?

    Having no family = having no means to legally stay, and illegally staying has hurdles.

    Having close family, especially USC immediate relatives = means to stay. Unfortunately, many people have abused immigration in the past this way, which is why it can be harmful.

     

    The reason to visit as a tourist has very little value. They don't care if you want to go to Disneyland or see a relative. They care about having a compelling reason to return home afterwards.

    Agreed... Which for a 57 years old woman leaving husband, children and grandchildren back home should be a reason compelling enough to show she will return.

    I've seen a few people swear by it. I have yet to see any evidence supporting their claims, though.

    I don't really understand the logic behind having an immediate family member in the US  could hurt your application since u have to provide a reason for the visit... I'm a US citizen and my mother wants to come visit me and see her grandson. It's ridiculous that having a son and grandson u want to visit could be harmful.. Instead I guess it would be better to say ur visiting the US to see some meaningless attractions smh.
