Mother in law to U.S

[Tony Antony 2]

Hello,

I'm a U.S citizen, and my wife has a green card. We are having a baby in 8 months, and I would like to bring my wife's mother to U.S to care for the baby. How would I do that? Which for do I fill out? If my mother in law gets a tourist visa, how long can she stay in the US?

My wife is applying for her US citizenship, does it make a difference if my wife applies to bring her mother once she gets her citizenship?

Thanks as always,

You can't for that reason. Here is a thread that ask the same question. God information in it. I suggest you read it. Than you will understand.

hi

you cannot bring anyone on a tourist visa, another thing, taking care of your baby is considered work on a tourist visa

her mom will have to qualify on their own for a tourist visa, she will have to show strong ties to her country and convince the officer that she will return to her country

now does her mother want to move to the US to live for good? if so, then once your wife becomes a USC, she can file for her mom, the petition will take around a year

6 months. However if the reason of childcare is given she may have a difficult time obtaining the visa.

Thanks both

According to the USCIS page, my wife who's a green card holder can bring her mom

You obviously didn't read that carefully. It clearly says that you must be a citizen

[Tony Antony 2]

Yes, you're right, sorry.

You said in your earlier reply "6 months. However if the reason of childcare is given she may have a difficult time obtaining the visa"

Let's say that the reason is strictly for vacation, how would I bring her to US?

[Transborderwife 4,666]

She applies for a tourist visa with her ties to her home country. They say yes or no. You have nothing to do with it.

[Tony Antony 2]

ok so she have to apply from India for a tourist visa to U.S?

The other option is wait till my wife becomes a U.S citizen, and have her apply for her mom

[Transborderwife 4,666]

Exactly. Also your mother in law has a better chance of waiting for your wife to petition her.

hi

yes, she fills out the form that she can find on the US Embassy/consulate in India, pay the form and have an interview for the tourist visa and take all the evidence to the interview, they will say yes or no

or as you said, wait until your wife becomes a USC

Thank you so much, I appreciate it

let's say if you do say it's just for tourism, it must only be for that reason. because at this point if you lie and say it's for tourism and she is in reality coming to care for your child that is misrepresentation. Misrepresentation carries a ban. Just sayin'

odd how quickly the reason for travel can change....like was made (I thought) clear in another post on a similar topic, babysitting is work, and B2 visa holders are not allowed to work, regardless for whom said work is being performed.

Funny that

Anyway let us know how it goes.
