  • Grandmother with a 3 yr old Ghanaian grandson needs info on visa for grandson

    I am traveling to Ghana in a couple of months to visit my grandson. He lives there with his other grandmother. What forms do I need to get a visa for him to travel back to the United States with me for a visit? I see no form for a grandchild. Can I apply for a visa for him before I leave for Ghana? Should I mark the box that says son on the visa application or is there a special application? Or should I file for guardianship?

    There is no visa for grandchildren.

    Does your grandson have a US Citizen parent who can petition for him?

    Tourist (B-2) visas are available but they are tough to get.

      No. His parents have asylum status in the US.
      Would it be easier to get him immigrant ststus? Or could the parents petition for their son to be allowed to come to the US?

        It may be possible. If it is possible, it may take longer than just a few months.

        Please read the following guides:



        and also read this so you get an idea of the number of refugees that need to processed:
