My future mother in law was supposed to be visiting us and when she arrived in LA, they detained her, took away her Visa, and sent her back to Costa Rica.  We can only assume it was because she stayed for her last two visits for almost her max allowed time...and this time she bought a plane ticket for four months to help us out with her grandson.  She has all of the rest of her family, her mother, all her other grandchildren, and her part time job in Costa Rica.  She is not trying to live here, she is just trying to spend time with her grandson and her daughter...both of which she didn't see for more than two years before this most recent two year run of visits.  Is there any way for her to get her Visa back?  Is she allowed to reapply?  Are there any recommendations/rules that she needs to follow when doing so?  Is there anything I can do on my end to facilitate the process?  It seems cruel to not allow a 60+-year-old woman to not enter the country to visit her daughter/grandson...with all the crime and drugs that come over the border, you wish they focused more on 'threats'.  My fiance feels she may never see her mother again and is devastated.  My fiance only has a green card and is not terrified to leave the country for fear the Trump 'new rules' can deny her re-entry at any time like has already happened to people with green cards...please advise.  Everything is welcome.   I would like to get my mother in law her visa status again.  Thank you.

Your fiance's worry is mostly baseless since s/he could always go back to Costa Rica to visit her mother.

 

And "Trump's new rules" you are referring to, is fake news.

 

So hakuna matata.

The first step, once she's in a good/calm state of mind (it's nerve-wrecking, I know), would be to get the details of exactly what happened. That's the only way to know what options may be available i

What she did by watching the child is working.  In the eyes of the government, that was work a US citizen / resident could have been doing.  She abused the conditions of her tourist visa.  She will ha

I assumed the Trump comment was a joke. Not clear what her current status is which is more likely an issue.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

In his other thread he said she was going through VAWA, well implied that was the case.
