Hi, I'm a US citizen who is having difficulties inviting my 13 year old niece to visit me in the US. She lives in Ukraine and she got denied a tourist visa three times now. I'm wondering what we can do to increase her chances of getting it. My understanding is any attempt to involve...

I can't offer any expert or legal advice, but I would sit down with him (which I presume you might have done already) and explain to him in what kind of situation you are in because of him. If he doesn't care, then he's simply being a selfish prick and I wouldn't feel bad about calling the...

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. She's holding a Ukrainian passport. Her grandmother (my mother) does have a non-immigrant visa, but seems like that doesn't help my niece who would travel with her.

Hi Concerned4Us, thank you very much for informative suggestions. I guess I need to start looking for programs in the US designed to host international children. Her parents (my sister and her husband) do not have visas, and from what I've read in the forum, the chances that they will get them...

Hello, I promised my niece that I would reward her with the best summer she's ever had for her good grades, but my plans just fell short because she was denied a non-immigrant visa. I'm baffled: what in the world could an 11 year old child present as evidence that she has ties to home...

I see, thanks. Doesn't look like Ukraine has DFC. Now, what about K-3 visas? It sounds like they're designed for entrance to the US while I-30 is being processed. It's not clear to me though if it's only for a spouce and children or if it also extends to the parent. If it does, can I submit...

Again, thank you for plenty of useful information. I think I will write a letter of support basically focusing on the fact that if my mother wanted to imigrate, I'd have her apply directly for a green card. The strength of this argument, however, rests on the assumption that it is easy to...

Triple citizen, thank you for the information. Do you know if there is anything I can do to help my mother obtain a non-immigrant visa. Since she already has a rejection and nothing has really changed since then (except that I became a citizen of the US), I don't have confidence she'll get it...

Hello, I'm wondering if a) I can obtain a visitor's visa inside the US for my mother who is in Ukraine; and b) if doing so by myself would be any different than doing it through an attorney? While I was in a "permanent resident" status, the US embassy in Ukraine denied my mother a visitor's...
