That's going to be the most difficult field to get a work visa for.

It's not a work visa though...it's through family...sorry I have read nothing really about the change trump may be making

I would not be concerned about it at present 

I know trump has changed a few things...but what are the chances of him doing this?? And would they not honour everyone waiting and it would only affect new applications?

taking care of an elderly relative may be considered working

That's very interesting. I know someone who was able to extend his stay for six months to take care of his mother-in-law and then returned to his country. Another woman was able to extend her stay to help her daughter with a sick infant, since hiring a nurse was too expensive on top of medical bills. Again, just temporary cases and maybe USCIS was being generous. Just curious about what USCIS guidelines suggest such practices might be considered working. I understand how it might, since the sick relative can technically hire a nurse.

Any activity which may displace a US worker is prohibited. I agree that it is not always executed equally...or at least does not appear to be executed equally. But people have been denied entry for this reason. People have also been denied entry for the purpose of taking care of their grandchildren, since that's a service a babysitter/nanny would normally perform.

Makes sense. I know two Indians who visited their daughters in the USA and essentially took care of the newly born grandchildren. They probably didn't state this on the application forms. They also had property and businesses back in India, so a strong incentive to return. I guess it's all on a case-by-case basis.

Hi 

it is interesting...I honestly thought they would extend it...and yes if something did happen obviously we would still have our house ect and I definitely don't plan on doing anything illegal it would purely be to help and I couldn't take my kids out of school for a long time...it would have to be one of us that went because the kids .
