I did not understand the required 6 months of living in the US to maintain the Green Card; that was very helpful; thank you.

She will do a 90 day Visa. That's our best move. Thank you all for your input.

My wife is 8 months pregnant; and 2-3 months away from the Oath Ceremony.

We would like to apply for a Green Card for her mother after my wife becomes a US Citizen.

The Mother-in-Law is retired and in her 60's, and will not work in the US.  And from South Korea.

We can't seem to decide what to do here; a) B2 six month tourist visa; or b) 90 day tourist Visa.

The purpose of the Mother-in-Law's trip is to be present at the pregnancy around July 4th, and vacation with us.

The purpose of the Green Card is to give her the flexibility to visit us however she see's fit; while maintaining her

primary residence in South Korea.

However, we already know we are applying for a Green Card after the Oath Ceremony is complete, around September 1st.

We do not want to appear guilty of immigration fraud of any kind; but we want the mother to meet her grandchild.

My wife actually would like her mom at the Hospital during the pregnancy her first child.

a) We are afraid of being rejected for a B2 in Seoul on this "childcare" suspicion. Are we being irrational?

b) We are afraid of adjusting status to Green Card while the Mother-in-Law is in the country,  and being rejected

by USCIS for fraud. What is the best way to adjust status while present in the country - the 90 day visa or the B2?

Thank you for your help! Much appreciated.

Tourist Visa....Are you referring to a 90 day tourist Visa, or the 6-month Visitor Visa?
