Yes... have false teeth, will travel. I don't know where they're coming from... this is a wierd situation why can't u visit them??? And u don't need a VISa just to visit.. you just need a passport and that's not hard to get.

The United States immigration agency grants Visas to people based on certain qualifications. They will give a Visa to a student, a highly skilled professional or some one seeking political asylum before they will give a Visa to a senior looking to retire in the States. Basically, the government takes people who will benefit them (tax from high paying jobs, or, in the student's case, prospective tax from wages they will earn after they finish school). It's logical really.

Unfortunately, no. You might even say thay they are in a bit of a disadvantage. You see, to get a tourist visa, they must show that they have enough , even more than enough, assets in their country that they would need to go back to after their trip. They must also be able to show that they can pay for their trip expenses (or who will pay for the trip), where they are going to stay, and what they are going to do there.
My grandmother (older than 60) has applied several times because she wanted to visit my uncle, but has been denied several times.
It would be a lot more easier for you to visit your grandparents, trust me. If you are really concerned for them, and you really want to see them, you should go to them. Besides, they might have a hard time travelling already because of their age. I do wish for good health for your grandparents.

I dont see why not they can get a visiting visa or somehting like that i would check it out talk to immigration i guess that is where you would go to find out. GOOD luck. I think bc they are just visiting they might just need a pass port to enter. I would check it out does not hurt.
GOOD LUCK.

visa's have an expiration date as nicely as passports. verify the two expiration dates. if neither are expired you ought to use the two. regardless of the undeniable fact that if the passport or the visa is expired you will desire to get a sparkling passport AND a sparkling visa

yes. it's a lot easier for them.... you will still need to present some documents but immigration is more willing to give visas to older people, who can not work, than to youngers...

no, equal rules to everybody, you never know, your grandparents I'm sure are not terrorist but what if someone from the same age group are. You can never be too careful so that's why no, they have to go through the same way like everybody else..

What kind of Visa? Tourist visa may be easy, but depends on various factors.
