You and your husband can provide your mother with an invitation letter containing a guarantee that she will return to the home country after the period of visit and the financial support papers. Financial support papers usually include the I-134 affidavit of support with job letters, bank statements, and tax returns. Insofar as costs are concerned, they are of course much less if you prepare the papers yourselves. No lawyer can guarantee that your mother will obtain a visiting visa since such is given in the discretion of an American consular officer. Individuals entering the US on visitors visas are usually given six-months stay and such could be possibly extended.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
