Tourist Visa From Ecuador?

Question

I would like to Invite a relative frm Ecuador to Florida

What Is the best way of me Inviting her here and Immigration

providing a tourist visa?

Answer 1

That person needs to visit the US embassy in Quito for the visa app.  They will ask why, but an invitation from you may be of little value in the process and may actually hurt since relatives in the US are often viewed as a risk factor in overstaying a visa.

Answer 2

It may be very difficult, frustrating and expensive -- the non-refundable application fee alone is $100, and it's not likely she'll be accepted. I have friends and acquaintences in Ecuador who've applied up to 5 times and have been consistently rejected regardless of age, s*x, relations, reasons, or justifications. It seems to be run on luck of the draw, unfortunately.

She must go to the U.S. embassy in Quito to apply for a visa. She also must make it very clear that she in no way has the intention of over-staying, or working, or breathing (ok, slight exaggeration...) Those might increase her chances of getting a visa.
