Is it better for parents to apply for a tourist visa or a visiting visa?

Whether parents apply for a tourist visa or a visitor visa depends on the specific situation. Here are some considerations:

1. Visa purpose: If parents want to reunite with their children studying in the United States, it is recommended to choose a visit visa; If it is for tourism or other non-commercial purposes, then it is recommended to choose a tourist visa.

2. Kinship: If parents are immediate family members, such as parents' children, you can choose a visit visa; If you are other relatives, such as cousins, you can only choose a tourist visa.

3. Visa application is difficult: the visa review for visiting relatives is relatively strict, and a large number of materials need to be provided to prove that the application is difficult; The examination and approval of tourist visas is relatively simple and requires less materials.

In short, choose the visa type according to your personal situation and travel purpose. For more specific consultation, please consult a professional lawyer or relevant institutions.
