B2 Visa question

[Jhon Li]

Hi,
Sorry for B2 visa question.
I want to invite my parents come to US. They are going to apply B2 Visa at Beijing, China. They visted us in America between 2002/1-2003/1 (12 months with valid extension). Right now, I am drafting an invitation letter. The main point is to invite them to be us for a few months. I have several questions for the invitation letter concerning the possibility of visa application approval:

1. I bought a new house and will move into it next month. If I mention it in the letter (say I have a new house, I want my parent to see), is it good or bad?
2. My son is in China with them, in the letter, can I say I want them to bring my son back to US or don't mention my son?
3. We will have another new baby very soon, If I mention it (say I will have a new baby, I want them to see), is it good or bad?

Any B2 Visa application expeirence will be welcome.
Thanks.

Jhon

Answering your questions:

First of all, your parents need to be very careful this time when they are applying for B2 visa, as they have overstayed last time(additional 6 months, even though it is still approved, by INS), but still will get into problems, as INS doesnt like people who extend their stay more than 6 months on B2 visa.

So, you need to keep in mind, that chances of getting their visa is just 40/60 percent.

1. No, dont mention it. You buying a house in US, doesnt help them in getting their visa.

2. Is your son a US Citizen, if so it might help them to get their visa since they can accompany them, otherwise doesnt make any difference.

3. If you say that they are coming here for helping you or attending your new born, their visa is 100% reject for sure. Your invitation letter should be general and not specific to baby/house or other household works.

I am sure that you were not expecting these answers, but I am being very honest with you.

This would give you a headsup on what you should NOT do...

Hope this helps!!

I complete agree with Want GC Soon, you should not ever tell about your household or new born's.
If you parents will help new born's the Consulate will read that as you are taking one day care's job hahhaha.

You parents should tell that they are here for pleaure and tourists and will spend lots of $'s here. show something like that.
