Our first baby is due Dec 2nd 2011 and we dont know anyone in Las Vegas to help with the care of the baby. We both have full time jobs and dont trust non family members with the baby. All of my family is on the East coast and ShaSha only has a uncle in Orlando FL. We would like to bring someone from her family to the U.S. to help us but not sure if we can until ShaSha is a U.S. Citizen. Her brother is a nurse in the Philippines so we thought maybe we could at least bring him, if not her parents maybe since we will bring them after she is a USC anyway. ShaSha does have a 10 yr green card and will be applying for citizenship soon but not fast enough before the baby is born. Just wanted everyone's thoughts and ideas.

She has to be a citizen to petition her family. The wait for siblings from the PI is over 20 years.

Correct.

You may want to try finding somebody you trust among the 310,860,000 people currently in the US. By the time ShaSha's brother can come to the USA, she may be a grandmother already.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

ditto,

she can't file for family members until she is a USC, for siblings it's over 20 years for Philppines. she can file for parents when she becomes a USC.

you may want to consider finding a daycare, like a lot of working parents do, if you don't trust babysitters, at least until her parents are able to come.

A tourist visa is not to be used as a working visa, that will be considered as FRAUD. Note; babysitting is considered working, on a side note why would a working nurse give up a career of nursing for babysitting.

Baby sitting your own grand child for no pay is considered WORK? :huh:

I was talking about No Pay situation.

However, I looked up the stats and it seems that if the grandparents baby sit and that allows mother to go back to work, then grandparents are considered to be providing day care and working, even if they are not paid.

Interesting.

Yes it is if there any type of monetary reward or rewards involve. Ask the IRS what is considered to classified as WORK.

OP- may be looking into au pair visa might help you to bring a young relative over to the US.

Sad to say, it would be a little hard to get the brother of your wife....I know the feeling of not trusting other people to take care of the kids...even I myself wants to get someone from the Philippines to take care of my kids (no kids yet :)...just got married :) but we treid a US immigration lawyer and told that its possible but a little hard. Theyre all right,taking care of a baby is stil a work even without pay. Its not like the Philippines, u can just asked your relatives to take care of your kids without any salary involved....

Everywhere, but first starting with what visa could they possibly apply for that would cover this situation?

This question may not have been asked a million times, but probably in the thousands.

Nobody is going to make too much of a fuss about the Grandparents etc looking after the child whilst the Parents go out. But we are talking about full time child care here.

Where a third world nation is involved it could well be cheaper than hiring somebody here legally. No matter what their job.

If you do not want to use day care then the Mother would be the obvious solution, has worked for thousands of years.
