her mother only can apply for a tourist visa. If she gets it, she cannot overstay. She can only come to visit.

If Mom applies for a B2, (tourist visa) and gets interviewed, she should make no mention of helping with the baby, as this might be construed as work... and of course she's not allowed to work.

I'm not saying she should lie, but she stands a lot better chance of getting a visa if she's visiting family, as opposed to 'helping out'.

Thanks for the help.
