Work is work is work.

The only exception is volunteering where nobody would normally be paid, cat shelter or something. Do they have Meals on Wheels?

BTW the title of the tread is Family Immigration Question

boiler it is a family immi question in the right area for tourist visas and so no work thread is needed as the poster said nothing about working... good.gif

I need alittle direcion from the VJ family. My husband can home last year in and became a permanent resident in DEC. of 2010. We want to file for his mother, so she can be here to witness the birth of her first grandchild and help care for her while we work. What is the proper form to complete? Does my husband have to complete the I-130? Does he have to become a US citizen before filing for her? Your feedback and comments are very welcomed.

This is illegal telling ppl how to commit a visa fraud is illegal.

Please remember that it is a violation of TOS to encourage others or to provide them with the means to commit visa fraud - using an easier to get visa issued for one purpose and bypassing the proper process to obtain the correct visa - such as using a visitor's visa and then coming and working in the US. Visa fraud is illegal and people have been deported for such activity as well as have had all future immigration related benefits denied for violating immigration law in this way.

"Work' as defined by US immigration authorities includes any sort of work for which someone else would normally be paid, so it does include babysitting, grass-mowing and housework. It also includes any sort of volunteer work that would normally be done by someone being paid, or volunteer work that has expectations of turning into paid work when a work visa is available. These activities are all considered 'work' and a work visa is required.

USCIS does not have a good record recognizing traditional family based activities such as family members visiting to assist in baby care, invalid care or help around the home. These are not the 'norm' in the US, so do not garner an exception to the work visa requirement.

Actually yes he has worked because you paid him to cut the lawn and if he is asked at an immigration interview he would need to honestly answer that he has worked in the US.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
