Applying nanny to my sons going as followtojoin derivatives of their father under f2b

[JemIel101 0]

My two sons got their visas under FTJ derivatives of their father in f2b visa, and I will come with them under b1/b2 visa...my questions are :

... What can I show to an immigration officer to give me a 6- month max of my stay in the US and appear to my I-194 as 6 mos stay?

... Is there any possibilities that I can change my status to at least h2b visa as to work as nanny of my kids? My youngest is only 2 years old

...can I extend my stay...what percent is the possibility?

... Their father is now 2 yrs staying there at the US as LPR and is also looking at petitioning me as his fiancee once he became a US citizen but he wants me to be with the kids also while his working...the main petitioner is his mother who is now a US citizen and is living with him but also working...so they will really need me to look at the kids once the kids get there with them..

Can someone advise me on what plan or what route weshould take? Thanks so much in advanced..and God bless!!

Is there a reason your boyfriend/fiance can't come and marry you in PI and then file I-130 for you? It will be a F2A petition meaning you have 2-3 years wait to get an immigrant visa. No reason to wait for his citizenship so he can file a fiancee visa, by the time he is a USC (3 more years) you could have the immigrant visa in hand.

Also - why can't kids remain with you in PI - either through him petitioning them at the same time as you or them getting the green cards and then also filing for re-entry permit so they can stay with you.

And no, there is no option for you to come and babysit in the US as a nanny - B1/B2 is for visiting, not babysitting. In extenuating circumstances tourist visa can be extended but asking for extension so you can babysit is not good enough reason.

You are not going to get a visa as a nanny to your children. You probably will be given 6 months, but extensions are unlikely. You are supposed to live in the Philippines, not the USA on a tourist visa.

Milimelo gives some good suggestions- get married now and have your husband petition you for a spousal visa, it is the quickest.

Appy as a nanny is NOT going to work, so forget this route.

Appying for a work visa is not going to work, unless you have found an employer to do this for you.

Extending your B2 will only go so far, even if it is granted.

The only route available is for the LPR to wait until he marries you and then he can file for a spouse visa. This is a 3 year wait process.

Take your children back to PI with you and let the LPR visit you'll there.

After you husband got his green card, he could have gone back here in the Philippines to marry you, then go back to the US and file his petition for you. You should have been under the F2A category (Spouse of LPR). He doesn't need to wait to become USC to file a fiancee visa for you. That fiancee route will take 3+ more YEARS.

The nanny thing won't work. It's absurd. You might even be denied entry at your POE if you say you're going to STAY to take care of your kids. Immigration will assume that you have immigrant intent since your husband and kids are all US residents.

Tell your husband you should get married ASAP so he should file your i-130 ASAP too. Waiting time for F2A category is at least 2 YEARS.
