No, there are no "babysitter" visas. There is a J1 for au-pairs, but they need to go through an agency, and I don't think that you could request your sister specifically.

by the time your sister gets here your baby would already have her/his own baby :)

tell her to apply for a Visitor Visa instead of petitioning her.

But be careful, when/if she will apply for a tourist visa,to tell her that she will n o t work in the States, even for you!

Hi

IF you want her to inmigrate to USA, you have to start by filling your sister's petition, it is long time consuming, because it is a fourth preferences cathegory and based on you country you will have to wait till this visa turns available. but based in her current situation, there is no other way to bring your sister to inmigrate to USA.

but if you only want to bring her to visit you, she have to file for a nom imigrant visa in her contry.

Thanks to everybody.

My sister lives in Belgium and she is a citizen there. She just came to visit and she really like it here. Unfortunately I know how long it takes for a sister/brother petition to be approved that is why I thought maybe there is another way...... I guess she will remain in Belgium and she will come and visit.
