No you have nothing to do with the process:


She needs a passport and a visa. Check here for more information about getting a visa: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/temp/ty...





Hosting Visitors to the U.S.





People often ask how they can help a family member, relative or friend get a visa to visit them in the United States. We appreciate their desire to help and do understand that sometimes the need for a visit can be urgent.





Under U.S. law, however, applicants for visitor visas must qualify on their own for visas to visit the United States.





This is what applicants must do to qualify for visitor visas:





Complete and sign the required application forms;


Bring evidence that their visit is temporary and that they will return home after their legally authorized stay; and


Undergo security clearance procedures


We understand that you may want to help with the visa process. However, it does not help the applicant if you write a letter of invitation or personally guarantee his or her departure from the United States after the visit is over. The consular officer evaluates each visa application on its own merits according to visa law and procedures. You can be most helpful by making sure the applicant has all the information they need to submit a correct application and by explaining fully the standards for visa issuance.
Reply:She needs to apply for a tourist visa to the US at the US embassy in Lome. There is not much that you can do to help her - she is the one who needs to get the visa. She will need to prove to the ICE officials that she is not a risk of staying illegally in the US.
