Green Card holder wants mom to visit

[Kimkim08 0]

I am 10-year green card holder, marriage a US citizen for 7 years and have a 2 years old girl and expecting another on in August. I want my mom to come here to visit for 3-4 months when I am at the last weeks of pregnancy. She owns land for rent and 2 houses in Vietnam, saving account. My older sister family live with her and they have 2 boys. My younger sister is in her 20s and not marriage yet lives in the same house.

I would like to know the chance she can get the visa to compare with others who son/daughter is naturalized already. Please help if you guys have any ideas.

(P.S I came here on F-1 visa and there was no problem getting green card. I just don't have time to apply for citizenship yet)

It will depend on your mom can prove with CO she will go back to Vietnam after visit, so the answer is : We don't know.

The issue for your mother will be having sufficient credible evidence of ties to her home country that will overcome the interviewing officers basic assumption of immigrant intent 

 

Has she ever travelled to the US to visit you in the years that you have been here? or us this the first try?  IMO, her chances are not good. As you have already experienced yourself, houses and other extended family are often left in order to be with someone 

 

good luck !

Sometimes they approve and sometimes they do not. It really does seem subjective. She should try, but be prepared for denial. Good luck.

Thank for your all reply.

I know the visa to subject to denial. It depends on her. 

There some people she talked with saying that if I am citizen the chance she get higher so I am confused about this only issue.

hi

 

she shouldn't go by what people say, sometimes it's worse, because she could come and stay illegally

 

no one knows, she should apply and take all the proof she has to show strong ties to her country

There is only one person who is “worth talking to” ...  and that’s the interviewing officer. All other answers are based on personal experience,  anecdotes... and unfortunately also much misinformation 

 

If she can afford the fee , apply

If you're citizen, the chance is lower....

For Lil bear reply

she hasn't travel anywhere outside Vietnam before. This is the first time she applies. I just gather some info. Thanks

She needs to fill out the form, pay the fee and go to the interview.   Honestly answer any questions.

 

Note she can't babysit for you or help take care of the baby.  That is considered as work.

No, we don't need her babysit. My husband and I don't commute to work (kinda work at home) so we don't have to deal with the issue of babysit. We just want her to come here to see my little girl and the newborn. Visit and have fun as family.

The exact opposite is more likely true.  If you are a US citizens, it would be more likely she would want to stay....
