Seems straightforward enough. Hopefully all goes well when the time comes.

Yep, I would think would be okay. I just wanted to get an idea of what documentation she would need to prove ties to return. She doesn't speak English so wanted to make the process easier for her when her interview time would come.

She is married and has 2 kids. No intent to marry someone here. Just wants to visit.

She is married with 2 children. Just wants to visit, has no intent to stay here.

I just wasn’t sure what all they look for in an interview for that type of visa. If there’s any specific documents we would need to send with her to show she would be supported during her stay. Return ticket, etc. Never done a tourist visa so not 100% sure of all the fine details.

Thanks everyone! If she’s just coming to visit and not really tourism, is there any other type she would need to apply for or is the tourist visa the best option? Is there anywhere online that we can take a look at to see what supporting documents we would need to send with her? To show the Embassy that she would be staying with us during her visit ? Thanks!

My husband and I would like to bring his sister over to visit and spend time with us. We plan to have a family soon within the next year and she would like to be there for the birth of any children we may have. My husband is a LPR (conditional) and I’m a U.S. citizen. I see she would be eligible for a tourist visa, but who would need to sponsor her? Would it be myself or my husband, or us together? How long are the visas typically good for ? She has a job and her own children in Morocco. So her ties to the country are strong, and she would return.

Passport was delivered today!

I went when my husband had his appointment, but I was not allowed past security. It took about 5-10 minutes total for everything.

Once you receive your WAC # in the mail, you will be able to track the status of itonline, make sure you sign up for text and email alerts on your petition. You will want to create a account on the USCIS website as you will use it a lot over your visa journey.

Just an update, received an email in French this morning saying: MADAME/MONSIEUR BONJOUR LE PASSEPORT EST DISPONIBLE, POUR LE RETIRER, VEUILLEZ VOUS PRESENTER AU SERVICE DES PASSEPORTS MUNI DU RECU DE LA DEMANDE ET DE VOTRE ANCIEN PASSEPORT and the money orders were cashed. So hopefully it won’t take long now until it gets delivered here to our house. Like I stated above, I put an overnight express mail envelope in the package, so should be good to go. 🤞🏻

Sounds good, I’ll keep updated here once we see some movement.

That’s not too bad, we did over night delivery and it just showed delivered to their mailbox. I didn’t opt for a signature so hopefully it made it to the right spot. I have the serial numbers for the money orders so I can keep an eye on them for when they get cashed. I was hoping that the consulate would have had an online portal or a tracking system so you can see where the passport is in real time but I haven’t seen anything online where you can see updates.

We mailed the documents and they show they were delivered at the beginning of last week. I did overnight delivery and it shows delivered to their mailbox. Do you remember how long it took for them to cash the money orders you sent? Ours still hasn’t been cashed yet so just curious what their time frame is for that portion of the process.

Thank you! 🙂🙂
