Hi all- immigration question

Hi all. It's been a very long time since I've posted. We brought Arely home in Oct and I don't have the time to spend in front of the computer like I used to. Some names still look familar and I've noticed that there are alot of newcomers to the forum. Arely is doing very well- thriving- is very happy and is an absolute joy to have in our family.

The reason for my posting is to ask a question about immigration. Arely's foster mom's sister would like to visit us in the US and we are very confused about the Visa requirements. Do any of you know the responsibilties of a host family in helping the traveler attain a visa? I never did understand immigration...I appreciate your help.

I will try to post a pic of ARely so that all of you can see how lucky we are to have her...

Someone posted on this just yesterday and I hear it is very difficult for Guatemalans to get any sort of visa but I'm sure someone else will post something more helpful. Good luck - Barbara
