Hello I have a question , I'm still in the process of my adjustment of status waiting for the interview this year and I'm 1 yr and 6 months here now in USA.  My mother is planning to get visit visa my question are:

1) is that ok for her to visit here even If I don't have green card yet?

2) is visiting her granddaughter a valid reason to say to consult and what is the possibility they will approve that reason?

Hope someone will answer thank you so much

1. Yes

 

2. Certainly is a valid reason. Not sure why they would dispute visiting a grandchild as a reason.

1) Your immigration status has no impact on her tourist visa application 

2) Visiting her granddaughter would be a valid reason. It will not cause a denial or approval automatically though

Her reasons to visit are much less important than her reasons to return home (and evidence of those reasons).

Because im thinking it might get denied because the consul might gonna think she's going to babysit her granddaughter because she's 7 months old only

That is a concern they may have. But you asked if visiting the granddaughter is a valid reason, and sure it is.

As noted above, they are more concerned with why she needs to leave, not so much why she's coming.

They really care more about why she will be returning home, not so much why she will be visiting.

But, if asked as to the purpose of her trip, she should answer all questions honestly.

And that is why when they ask, she do not use the word “babysit”. She says: “ I want to visit and spend time with the family”

Isn't she going to do that?

No she isn't because she's old enough to babysit my daughter, I really want her to meet the family of my husband since she never meet them in person. ☺️

No need to mention plain.
