我父母80多了, 因疫情和健康原因已滯留國內14個月, 本來準備申請SB1簽證,原來還報有希望, 因為父母年紀大了, 加上國內沒有其他子女可以照顧他們。 看了您對前幾個問題的回複, 現在感覺被拒的可能也很高。 我想谘詢幾個問題
1. 如果申請旅遊簽證的話,他們必須先申請放棄綠卡嗎?
-Yes. See this link for how to abandon the green card in China:
Abandonment of Status (Form I-407) | U.S. Embassy & Consulates in China (usembassy-china.org.cn)
這個要多長時間呢?
-It takes about two months for USCIS to process and respond to you about your request.
2. 放棄綠卡後申請旅遊簽證, 被拒的可能性是否很大?
-Very small. I have suggested several people did this way, and all of them got the B2 visa after abandonment of green card.
被拒的話還可以申請SB1 簽證嗎
-No. But you can sponsor your parents to apply for the immigrant visa in Guangzhou if they cannot get B2 visa. Then, they can enter US using immigrant visa to become a green card holder directly. I don't suggest them to apply for SB-1 visa.
3. 美國對中國還有10年旅遊簽證嗎?
-Yes.
非常感謝您的幫助!
