I need advise on how to get Visa for my brother

[MAH]

Hi all,

I am new to this forum, and I needed help from you guys.
I live in Florida, US and I have a Permanent Green card. My brother lives in Tashkent, UZ. He is 18 years old. He has been begging me to help to get him a visa so he can come to see me. Some people said, that since I live in USA it might be harder for him to get a Visa. Is that true? If not how can I help him? What do I need to do?

Fikringizga muhtojman.

Oldindan rahmat!

Thank you!

Sign him up to school and make sure he goes to school. Make his paperwork yourself, make sure you send him everything he needs for the interview. Other than that there is pretty much no chance for him to get visa, unless he is a very lucky person :) Let me ask you this, how long have you been in states and what do you do?

1) Read this section. It has lots of useful information re: visas, all of it only a couple of mouse clicks away.

2) As Smilik already pointed out, he might have a problem receiving a visa, but he has a chance. Getting ANY visa (B1, F1) is comprised of many factors: language skills, paperwork, background, interview, and simple luck.

Manga ham VISA bo'yicha maslahat kerak edi.
4-kursda o'qiyman, blankamga universitetdan pechat qo'yib berishdi.
Voenkamatdan ham spravka oganman AVIRga dib, Armiyaga bormaganmanu MPR da zahiradaman, lekin ba'zila sanga boshqacha spravka berishibdi diyishdi, qanaqadir FORMA 27 mi kerekan, va hozir agar man AVIR ga topshirsam ruxsat berishmas ekan. Shundan u-bu kimning xabari bo'lsa, tushunirib yuborsa judayam yaxshi bo'lardi.

Opasini Green Cartasi bogani uchun USda bolishi bu ukasiga viza berilmasligiga sabab bololmiydi.
Agardaki opasi b1/b2 viza bilan USda qop ketgan boganda unda viza olishi qiyin bolardi, lekin bvaribir familiyadigi bironta harif bilan togrilasa boladi...

Oqish boyciha chiqish uchun ancha muncha harakati bolishi kerak va shunga yarasha hamma qogozlarini yigish kerak, eng kerayligi, bir qancha savollarga ozida javob topishi kerak:

Qatga va nima sababdan ketvotti oqishga ?
Pulini kim tolavotti ?
Nima boyicha ?
Keyin nima qiladi ?
Qanchaga ?

yana etc etc etc...

F1 vizani USdan yuborgandayam Konsulni u F1 vizani 100% rad etishga haqqi bor, student bilan interview qiganda...

Wow, guys i did not expect this much respond in such a short time. You guys are awsome. Thank you!

I already did some research on Student visa, which is too much head ache and is not even guaranteed. Plus, I figured if he was honest about coming to see his family, it might be easier, rather than try to get student visa. Plus, school's here asking way too much money per month, at least for me it was too much. Maybe as you guys said, I'll tell him to go to consul and try to get travel visa. Try his luck.

Do I need to send him anything, like proof of address, ect...?

Hammaga kottakon rahmat.

I just want to start by saying thank you for taking the time to read my thread and replying.

I have been in FL for about 2 1/2 years, in US about 6 years. I am an Administrative Asisstant at an Engineering company.

If you did not break any immigration laws of United Stated, your decent (reasonable)invitation letter, financial support (letter that states that you are going to be responsible for his finances and will be hosting him to certain amount of time at a certain address; attch; bank statement or letter from an employer, rental agreement), copy of your green card, etc, should be sufficient enough.

As for the interview, it is all up to your brother. He is young, not married, no attachments in Tashkent whatsoever (unless he has some kind of responsibilty)... These are enough reasons for consul to reject his application on basis of immigration attempt. He has to get his story streight (I am giong to visit my sister?) and be honest with them at all times (I am not sure how that is going to work if his initial plan is to stay in States permanently). Languages skills, communications skills are very important, too.

Note: If you invite him to visit you on some important occasion that might help you guys as well.

addition to Smilik's notes: occasions would work best, but still there is no guarantee he will get the visa. Especially if he is not married and has nothing to make him go back to Uzbekistan. Just an example, a girl with who I studies at the university got married to an american guy, sent an invitation to the whole family (a small Russian family actually). Mom, dad and granny all got visa, except for her 15 year old sister. She was denied, as logically if even parents go to America, they will have to come back eventually because their daughter is still in Uzbekistan.
The best option still bring him on F-student visa, maybe there are some English courses where you can enroll him? Those are not that expensive, and your bro might find a job and pay for his own schooling if he really wants that.

I will think about all of your advises, this helped me so much already.

Hammaga rahmat! Ukam rosa hursand boladigan bo'ldide. Me making an effort, means alot to him.

Thank you!

I don't believe language skills have anything to do with visa approval/rejection.

depends on what type of visa you are applying for and also for what reason. let's say you are applying for F1 and going to study English in US - totally fine if you know nothing. but if you are applying for F1 and want to get your masters in US - you better know a lot :) again, you are applying for B1 and have nobody to be a guide for you in the states, you gotta know the language at least some. but if you have let's say your sister/brother/close friend etc., its not really a big deal.

in general getting a visa is TRULY on individual bases. i would advice you MAH to draw the whole picture, your and your brother's situation, write all that down (including your family's social backround) and present to any of us via PM. we'll do our best to give you the whole picture back :)

Generally, language proficiency does matter. What it does is, at least it increases your chances of getting a visa.

A consul told me one time that they reject people sometimes because their language skills were too good. This was for a tourist visa. I understand that english is obviously required for a student visa. They implied that is was a sign that they would not leave.

I guess we can just forget about getting him a student visa, because he does not speak english. Plus financially I can't efford his school, neither can my parents in Uz.

I am actually just trying to get him a tourist visa, and his intentions are to go back, only beacuse I don't want to do anything illegal.

Actually, should I write them a letter, to the council, saying my name is so in so, I live here, the reason for the letter,I can effort to pay for all of his expenses, and I will make sure that he leaves when it is time to go back to Uz. (of course it will be more specific letter, but you guys get the point.) When my brother goes to the coucil should he just bring the letter with him, or is it better not to bring the letter with him.

Or is it a bad idea to write a letter?

So anyways, i appreciate everyones help. Thank you so much!
