Question

How long is a tourist visa good for?

Community Answer

It varies, but it is typically valid for a few weeks. Visit the government website of the country you are getting a visa for; it should say how long the visa is good for.

Question

My parents are visiting the U.S. for their grandson's graduation. What documents do they need to present? Also, my dad is 80 -- does he still need to attend the interview?

Community Answer

It depends on which country they are coming in from -- every country has different regulations. Your father will not be exempt from the interview solely because of his age.

Question

I want to immigrate to the U.S. with my daughter to marry my US citizen partner. We want to move there permanently after we are married. What is the best way to begin the process?

Community Answer

Your partner should petition for a K-1 visa. He or she will need to file Form I-129F. You should also meet with an immigration lawyer who specializes in U.S. immigration law.

Question

Can I apply again after an initial denial?

Community Answer

You can, but you should analyze why you were denied a tourist visa. For example, the consular official might not believe you have strong ties to your home country. In that situation, you should wait until you can show you have stronger ties, such as marriage, a new job, etc.
