My wife is from the Philippines and we have been married 3 years. We are expecting our second child in June. Ideally, we would like her Sister (who is married) to come here and help us out for a few months after the baby is born. I know all of the logistics involved in getting the visa, but I was wondering if anyone had advice about ways we could increase the chances of her successfully being granted a tourist visa. Is it very difficult to get such a visa for a Philippine resident, who I wouldn't consider as being poor but is by no means rich either? Any advice that can be shared would be much appreciated.
