Visitor Permit Application
Hello all,
I've a brother-in-law who is a Malaysian citizen currently working in Canada on a closed (only for one company) temporary work permit. He lived in the US for college on F-1 and later on H-1B for 4 years. Somewhere in there is also a year of OPT. He moved to Canada when his US employers didn't want to renew his H-1B and he lost his job. So currently he's working legally for a Canadian company and he's been there for about a year and a half.
I'd like for him to come visit the US this Thanksgiving and Christmas so he can see his sister's (my wife) and my family. As far as I know he has no real "ties" to his home country (Malaysia) since he hasn't lived there since he graduated high school. He's living with a friend and has a steady job in Canada but hasn't filed for a permanent residency there yet.
Will he have trouble getting a temporary permit for him because of his long (9 years!) US immigration history? He also doesn't have a real Malaysian address since... well he hasn't been there in about ten years. Ideally, we'd like him to get some sort of multiple entry visa so he can fly down and visit us in Pennsylvania every few months or so. Will he have trouble getting a visitor visa due to his long US immigration history?
Thank you,
Irving
