It's against TOS to ask someone to stop posting.  We are simply making you aware of every implication possible.  No need to shout

I'm not asking you to stop posting. 

You're saying the same thing since the beginning. 

I get it now.... 

Thank you for your answers and your time

I can't stress enough again what a huge privilege the ESTA/WVP option is. A lot of people on this forum would be jumping for joy if they woke up the next day with a passport from a VWP country instead of having to apply for a B (which comes with stress, expense and of course the high chance of refusal). Take advantage of what you have and your sister should also be grateful for that.

 

A while back on VJ, there was a woman here from Pakistan whose mother died in the US. Her B-1 visa was refused. She wasn't even allowed to say good bye to her own mother or attend the funeral. So the fact that you can go and visit your sister for three months automatically merely because you have a French passport is something you should understand is indeed lucky.

I know that's a privilege and all. I was just asking a question in case there were any other solution. I have my answer. 

Reading you, it feels like I am asking for more than I deserve. 

I understand that it will be difficult to have a tourist visa. Thank you for your answers

Not a choice of words, the difference is between a mother visiting a daughter and work that could be done by a hired nanny.

The problem is that I don't think she can afford a nanny.

If I don't get there, she'll just have a really hard time and a lot in mind to figure out how to handle things.

Imagine there's a problem at night and she might go to the hospital, she'll have to wake her children up, put them in the car and drive herself.

Who wouldn't want to help her sister in such situation if they can ? 

She's all alone there with no family. We all live in France and she's the  only one who decided to live in the US.

OP's sister is in a far better situation than a typical mom-to-be with an absent spouse no matter the reason for his absence. As long as Sis plans ahead and makes contact with the individuals I listed before, she should do fine.  In the event she needs assistance with immigration services, there will be people at her husband's unit to guide her to the proper resource.  The USCIS has special services for the military and their family members. OP should be a normal tourist and enjoy her visit with family; everything else will work out for Sis.

 

What does OP mean? 

Who are the individuals you're talking about? 

I think if there were any other suitable solution that the military can provide, she wouldn't ask me to come since I'm making a huge sacrifice putting my life "on stop" in order to help her. 

Maybe there are things she doesn't know. Can you explain please? 

Ok I see.

I was just wondering if there's another visa I can file for.

I'll use the WVP then 

Thank you very much for your advices 

The thing is, I want to get there on july so that she can rely on me for the last month of her pregnancy.

If I only stay 90 days, that means I'll leave one month after the baby is born

If you apply for a B-1 visa and tell them in the interview that your reason is to help your sister with her baby you will almost certainly be refused a visa. Helping with children is considered work and is not allowed on a tourist visa.

 

You might be able to get a J-1 visa as an au pair. This visa is for helping out with children/cultural exchange. The only iffy part is that it would be for your sister. But it's worth looking into as an option. Check and see if you fit the requirements:

I'm 27 years old so I can't apply for the au pair visa

Hi everyone !!

My sister lives in the US and she is pregnant of her third child. Her husband is a military and he has to go on mission for a year on june 10th 2017.

She is due on august and I would like to go help her for at least 6 months because she can't handle 3 infants on her own.

I am a french citizen. We don't need a visa if we stay in the US less than 90 days but I want to stay longer.

I don't know what type of visa I can ask.

Can you help me on this please ?
