How do I go about helping a family member obtain a visa to visit the U.S?
Answer:
They must go to a US consulate or the US embassy in Mexico city. They fill out a request for a tourist visa and pay a fee of $100 each. They'll be interviewed, and if the US consular officer believes they'll come back to Mexico, issued a visa. If they are unable to convince the consular officer they'll come back, they'll be denied.
Understand, the law requires the applicant to PROVE that he/she will not overstay the visa. It's totally on the applicant. Other than sending a letter to your inlaws inviting them for a visit, there's nothing you can do.
Your Senators and Congressmen have staff specifically to assist you with this...and they'll be happy to help you out.
why get a visa, with the new immigration reform is better if they are here illegaly...
Very difficult nowdays...unless they can get a tourist visa.
The U.S. Embassy in there country, you must submit a sponsor letter from you.
