    He is wrong, the only person that can apply for a passport is the foreign national. how can a US citizen apply for a foreign passport for anyone? doesn't make any sense. No foreign government will allow a USC to apply for an unrelated foreign national.

    Same with the visa, the applicant, in this case a minor, through his parent, applies for the B-2 visa.

    Your brother is confusing the requirement for approval of the B-2 visa, and that is information, in the form of a letter, detailing your nephews visit, finances and dates of arrival and departure. I advise y0ou to confirm this information from the US consulate or embassy website. There is information about the visa application process, fees, timelines and how to schedule an appointment. Good luck.
