Bringing mother in law to help with new-born/birth

[Monica_RO 0]

I am active duty in the Navy. My husband is from Bulgaria and my family is also in Europe. I am stationed stateside. My mother in law applied for a visitors visa last year and was denied without even having the paperwork (including the invitation letter) looked at. In 30 seconds she was told her visa was denied. At the moment I am pregnant with our first child and after one month after I give birth, my orders in this state are ending and i will be moving across the country to a new duty station with a new born. I also don't have any family here to help me during the birth or be in the delivery room with me. My husband faints when he sees blood so thats not an option. I would love to have my mother in law come here to help me with the baby and the move for 2-3 months. What can I do to convince the embassy clerks that she WILL return to her country in 2-3 months. After all she is taking care of her elderly mother in Bulgaria so she really cant stay too much here anyway. Thank you for all your answers. My mother in law is 53 years old.

Having the elderly relative is good, get letters from their doctor saying they need help.

A job she needs to go back to, and property there would help too.

Be aware of how you word things; the mother will NOT be allowed to work here, and that includes babysitting/ helping with a move, as otherwise, you might be paying a US citizen to help. However, she CAN come and visit for the birth of her grandchild.
