Visiting U.S. depends on Country of Citizenship

Thu, 01/25/2007 - 8:47pm — RSA

Under what circumstances one can visit the U.S. depends on one's country of citizenship and any past U.S. immigration history. For example, the U.S. permits the citizens of certain countries ("visa waiver countries") to visit the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa, provided they meet other conditions. For citizens of countries which do need a visa, it may be possible to obtain a visitor's visa if one can convince the U.S. consular official that one will return to one's home country after the authorized visit, such as by showing proof of the purpose of the trip, e.g., to visit child having operation, etc. You should consult with a U.S. immigration attorney.

Son wanting to visit girl freind in MS

My son wanted to travel from eastern Canada (he is a Canadian citizen) to visit with his girl friend who lives in Mississippi. He was planning on staying till August ( he's fresh out of High school and wanted to try to make a "go" of this relationship) We attempted to obtain a Green Card to allow him to be self-suffient while he was there. But, since He's not a rocket scientist or a highly skilled doctor, he was really not elegible for a green card. We wanted to drive him directly there, and then send him a ticket for traveling home in August. When we attempted to cross the border at Milltown Maine on May 25/07 we were interogated, our intigerty insulted and refused admission to the US because they thought that he "had too much stuff just to be visiting for a couple of months". My son is soft spoken and has been raised to tell the truth. Being a quiet respectful fellow he became rattled during the "interview" and of course contridicted his story (not that he had made up the original story but, that what he wanted to do, which we could not find any information to say that he couldn't do it, was not going to happen if the two border guards had their way, so he became very upset as he realized what he had set his heart upon was not going to be realized and that these cold hearted people did not care about him as a person).
What he was taking with him was; two duffel bags of clothing and personal effects, his desktop computer, and, his electric guitar and amp. While we realize that most people do not take a PC with them when visiting, he doesn't own a laptop and since he had met his "possible life's companion" on line (while on line gaming) to him it was natural to want to take this with him.
We were not given ANY options to allow us to proceed ( leaving the computor (if that was the problem) behind ( finding storage in St Stephen NB till I returned) or anything else. Just told to turn around ,go home ,and don't try to cross anywhere else( he was fingerprinted and photographed)
Now I do know that we could have got around this by some deception ie. sending his computer by courier, or making up a story and rehearsing it till we believed it ourselves, but that is not the way we live our lives so this seems like a insult to all law-abiding citizens

I live in the United States. I am interested in having two people from Ghana visit for one week. One adult and one minor child. Both have valid passports. I would like to know what information I need to submit for this visit. I have e-mailed the Ghana Embassy several times with no results. I would like a website or fax number with a list of information for me to submit. I have tried several different avenues and have had no luck.
Thank you for any information you can give me. I appreciate your help.
