Sharoll follows up, “Can a Green Card holder invite a member of family to the US?”
Again, a Green Card holder,
Nobody is invited to come
and visit in the United States.
If you want to visit the United States, (You’re welcome pujam)
You have to file for a
Tourist Visa and apply.
There’s no invitation letters, there’s none of that. That stuff maybe
30 years ago existed.
But any person who wants to come visit the United States
whether their friend, family member, whoever, they go to the
U.S. Embassy, do an interview
and come here.
Officers, They are rarely, if ever, care about invitation letters and the
like, unless you’re coming
For example, for some
specific work thing.
For example, The Four Corporation makes cars, is inviting somebody
to come for a meeting, having
a letter from them is helpful.
But you inviting your brother or sister or family or come
in, they don’t care if anything
that hurts your case because
they know that the person
who’s asking for a Tourist Visa
has a family member in the
United States and they wanted
to, they could stay at their house and not go back to the home country
and stay here because the Embassy and the Tourist Visa is only,
not only but primarily focused
on whether this foreign person
is going to visit the United States and they leave again.
And that’s what they are
focused on they are seeing,
“Is this person going to actually come to the U.S. and stay?
Or are they going to leave?”
And if you have
family members in the U.S.,
it doesn’t really help.
So what you really need to focus
on is how to show this person is
only coming temporarily.
They’re only coming to
visit and go back home,
They have family back home,
They have work back home,
They have investments back home
and all this kind of stuff.
So you’re not going to unlawfully stay in the United States
and that should be your focus,
not on sending some sort of
invitation letters that
does not go anywhere.
I’ve talked to a lot of cops or officers, they have a show called
the Immigration Lawyers Podcast where I interview immigration
lawyers and people in the industry and I frequently consult
with U.S. Embassy Officers,
Consular officers,
once they have retired and they always say the same thing,
stop sending us invitation letters from family members.
We don’t even want to look at that.
It’s a waste of our time and it frustrates us.
That’s the reality, got it from the horse’s mouth.
So just know that and be prepared.
