Bringing Mother to US temporarily

[sara9 0]

hello guys

i m new to this forum. in fact today is the first day i opened this forum. n the first post i read is from "v77." u can easily realize that it isn't a good first impression. but the post overall is very informative. anyway my mom is in her 50's. she has some preexisting conditions like blood pressure. she has been taking a good care of from my other family members as she is not spending a single penny on her health issues. everything is free for her back there. i know the cost of health insurance is very high here. but i just wanna bring her here for at most 6 months only. to let u no i m permanant resident n not becoming citizen in the near future. now i hav 3 questions:

1. wat kind of visa i can apply for her?

2. do i need to show health insurance coverage at the embassy?

3. how much traveler's health insurance is gonna cost me for 6 months?

she can easily bring six months supply of her medicines. as she doesn't need frequent doctor visit n usually doctor gives him prescription for 6 months. in v77's post somebody mentioned B1/B2 visa. wat's that. i don't no. thanks. bye

Your mother would apply for a tourist visa at the US embassy in her country. She would need to show strong ties to her country (home ownership, employment, etc.)

B1/B2 are tourist visas.

1. since you're an permanent resident, you cannot apply (petition) for her...she has to apply for her visa herself as a tourist

but uscis has what is called "humanitarian parole" which allows the entry of a person through a petition...but this is approved on a case-to-case basis (ex. how urgent the situation is or why you cannot visit your mother instead etc)

2. she doesn't really need to (if she looks healthy i.e. not on a wheelchair)

3. it's up to you or her if you want to spend for that

what's important is she's able to prove that she won't be a public charge (she can take care of herself financially and she has plenty of reasons to go back to her country.
