Hello. It's true they don't care anymore, but they still ask you about the purpose of visit or the dates when you plan to visit. They are still behind with all the visas. Last year they had a backlog of about 2.5 million visas and among that, 1.4 million was TRV visas.

Hello. In the question, you can put an amount of all funds you have available. Since you are the one who invites your mom, you can attach your pay slips for the last month, letter from employer stating how much you earn etc, bank statements for the last 2-3 months any proof of stable income...

If you don't have your parents name in your or your sister's passport, you need to find a document where your parents name appears. For example, you can submit your and your sister birth certificate if it has your parents name.

Most of Covid rules in USA are over since January. They had enough time to sort out the backlog.

Why so long now? 5 years ago it was like 3 weeks for my wife to get invited for the appointment. I am checking the processing times website and for Montreal it says emergency appointments only. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html

Hello everybody! My mother in law is coming to Canada to visit us in several months. She holds a Canadian visitor multi entry visa. Can we apply to US visitor visa in Canada when she will be here or she has to do it in her country, Armenia, where she is coming from? Which way is faster and...

Hello everybody, Applied on March 4th for mother in law who lives in Russia. Biometrics completed on March 10. Received Biometrics Validity letter today. Does BVL means our application will not get refused? How much time it can take between BVL and final answer? Thank you

Hello everybody. What happens if the reason to visit doesn't make sense anymore. Should we continue to wait and do nothing? We applied for my mother in law and reason to visit was that my wife was having her operation in the beginning of May, so she needed help from her mother. Beginning of May...
