Ballinger, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

I have much experience in this area. You should be fine. Your husband's income will suffice. But it is better to have an immigration attorney review your case before submitting it.

Although not completely clear to me, it sounds like you step-mother wishes to come to the U.S. to visit for a short time and then return abroad. Generally, applicants for such a visit need to apply for a visitor visa (a visa in the B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa category). That type of application is handled through the U.S. consulate's office in the foreign national's country, and part of the process includes providing documentary evidence to show a genuine intention to visit temporarily and then return home. Typically that type of documentation includes evidence of one's ties to her country, such as evidence of a temporary leave of absence from work, evidence of continuing to have a home abroad, evidence of financial ties abroad, evidence of other family members remaining abroad, etc.
