Seems odd that a 12 year old wants to go to a high school graduation. Also odd that an application has been made for him just because he's unhappy with his grandfather travelling.
Even more odd that his parents have no interest in going with him. I think whoever goes with him to the Embassy, the result will be the same: denied.

You didn't state what country is he from?
Does he have any family in the US? What happened to the adults that were with him when he was a kid and got caught?

I have never said that 'I don't feel like waiting' , but the time period is highly unreasonable. Waiting 2 years for visit visa is very long as compared to other countries which we have applied for. The maximum they took was a month.
Erm if you did feel like waiting, you would have never created this topic, so yes, you don't feel like waiting.
You seem to think getting a visa to visit another country is a right, it's not, it's a privilege.
If you feel the wait is unreasonable then apply for a visa for the countries where it only takes 1 month and visit them.
Otherwise keep checking for reschedules and stop complaining.

I see @Boiler . That’s good your mom has ties to the UK. Well, I did not mention this before but my wife is pregnant. Is it a valid reason my Mother in law is coming over to take care of my wife?
Coming over to take care of your wife/new baby is considered work and is even more reason for the application to be denied.

I am asking question regarding my friend. My friend has b1 b2 already visited US twice with no issue at the airport no one deported no issue at POE same time immigrant visa pending. If you don't know the answer then don't try to be officer here
In your OP you clearly stated it is you that applied, not some 'friend' that has magically suddenly appeared from nowhere.
If this friend is real then why are they not the one asking the question on here instead of you?
If you want answers then give accurate information.
Also I'm not sure why you are even asking this question when the visa status quite clearly tells you everything you need to know.

I just didn't mention it, but yes I did get denied entry after returning from the 112 days.
They said I was inadmissible due to lack of ties to my country which makes a lot of sense, lol. It looked like I was trying to illegally immigrate which I understand why it looked like that. He let me withdraw my application of admission to the US. I haven't returned and I'm back to working. No mention of overstays though...
Don't know who to contact/inquire regarding if I do have an overstayWell there you go, proved my point exactly.
As mentioned Canadians get 6 months per entry so there is no overstay. Just leave a considerable amount of time since you last visited to try again.

Don't Canadians get 6 months per entry? So no, no overstay.
Your bigger problem is the amount of time you have spent in the US - what genuine tourist spends nearly 4 months on holiday, goes back home for 7 days then spends another 4 months on holiday?
Not a genuine one, that's for sure. I would not be surprised if you were denied entry or at least questioned heavily on how you are able to fund so much time away from home without working.

No documents are needed.

No personal experience but from searching online, if he brings the old passport as well as the new one, they should be able to make a note on his application at the interview and process it using the new passport.

Because I have paid a lot of money, gone through a lot and this means a lot to my family, its quite natural to be worried isn't it? Because I care!
No it's not natural, if you have nothing to hide. Only those with something to hide worry so much because they might get caught.
-
You come online asking a bunch of strangers whether your "friend" has created a real or fake letter? That makes a lot of sense, not.
Why do you suspect a "friend" of lying to you? Why don't you ask them?
Real question is what does it have to do with you and why does it matter to you if it's real or not?

I thought CBP can only give 6 months at the border? And you need to apply for 6 months extension if you want to stay longer? Unless things have changed recently.
Also the stamp and date in your passport means absolutely nothing and can and have been wrong.
Your online i94 is what you need to go by. Curious what yours showed for your last visit as giving 1 year at the POE is very very odd.

I understand fully about 90 days ESTA visa and knowledgeable about it. It's an easy, quick online process. We are not worried about this.
She's studying and she will be back in the PH. She is just visiting as our reward for her for being a great student.
She is not traveling alone - she's traveling with me (her aunt).
My husband and I will cover all her expenses while visiting US.
With respect, you don't understand fully as ESTA is not a visa and your OP stated 3 months, not 90 days, which can be the difference between overstaying or not overstaying. Also you say you are not worried, then why has she not applied for an ESTA yet if it's a quick online process?
You say she is studying - where is this 3 month gap? 3 months also seems a very long time for a 'reward'.
It's good she won't be travelling alone and you will be there with her. I would expect you will need some sort of proof that you are related, and an AoS from you and your husband stating you are covering all expenses, in addition to the parents consent.

Firstly WVP/ESTA is maximum 90 days stay, not 3 months.
If she has not yet applied for ESTA she should do that asap, no point even thinking about anything else until she has that approved.
Is she not studying? 3 month away from PH is a long time for a student aged person. I would assume that would be her strongest tie to PH?
If she is traveling by herself, for the first time, then she will need to convince them in PH at the airport to let her travel as there is the possibility of being offloaded. She should have to hand documents to show who she is visiting, such as copy of your passport, AoS that her expenses will be covered etc. PH is very strict when it comes to allowing young females to travel abroad alone for first time.

She won't be getting approved for a tourist visa, one of those rare cases where it's literally 100% and no point applying.

48 minutes ago, bdglen said:except they can get a C1 visa interview in less than two weeks, so obviously the process isn't entirely the same. i appreciate your willingness to respond, truly, but it doesn't appear that you have any first hand experience with a transit visa.
Sounds like you don't understand what Boiler is trying to say.
B2 or C1, the need to overcome assumed immigrant intent is the same, there is no difference. At the interview they will treat someone applying for a B2 exactly the same as they will someone applying for a C1.

When visiting the USA on my B2 I would usually be asked if I have sufficient funds for my trip and how much cash I have. I would always answer zero cash and show a few credit cards from my wallet which was always sufficient.
For a 3 month trip I would most certainly expect her to be asked to show sufficient funds.

to add more my dad is not interested in living here
Not interested in living there but you are planning to petition him for an immigrant visa which is for people wanting to make a permanent move to live in the US?
Does that make sense to you?
I think I'll pass on the 'trust me' line of yours.

It's funny how as soon as you found out it would be many years until your step brother can join you in the USA permanently, you suddenly decide to get them to apply for a tourist visa.
You should not expect anyone, especially the CO at the interview, to actually believe that are going to be genuine tourists and leave after just only one month, I certainly wouldn't.

It is fairly common on B2 to show some documentation regarding this.
No it is not. There are no documents that can 'prove' someone will not overstay so why would they even look at them? Certainly I was not asked for any documents at my B2 interview.
Help urgently required!

Not sure what's 'urgent' about this.
The truth should be written regarding who is paying for the trip, not what answer you think will make the case stronger.
Not sure why you think any documents can show strong ties - there's a reason why no documents are required. Most of the information needed to make the decision is on the DS160. Anything else will be ansked at the interview.
Without a job her ties to home are automatically weak. Add family in the US to the mix and it does not look good, but as always, nothing to lose by applying apart from $$$.
