Hi all! It's an old friend needed help. Please give me your inputs.

I guess the title says it all. After almost two years here in the US, we finally decide to have our first baby. It's even better when we found out that we are gonna get two of them at the same time. I guess we weren't ready for two so now we gonna need some help from the mother in law. So my questions are:

What do I need to do as of how to prepare for the paperwork and what is it?

What does my mother in law need to do or have?

How long does it takes?

Those are some questions I have right now. If you know more things that I need to be aware of, please feel free to comment.

Thank you so much in advance.

Mother in law cannot come here to babysit, she won't get a visa for that. She MAY get a visa to come visit her daughter and the new grandsons (congrats! I have boy/ girl twins myself, lots of work but so rewarding). There is little you can do; she will need to show string ties to her home country, evidence she will return. Does she have a good job/ property/ other minor kids or grandkids? That sort of thing helps.

Congrats to your expanding family!!!

We are not ready to have kid yet. Maybe in a couple years.

In VN, the requirement for parents of USC to visit the US to visit is pretty relaxed. I know many people without strong ties were able to get B2 visa without issue. We will soon invite her parent to come visit us.

You or your wife need to write an invitation and send it to grandma. She needs to apply for a B2 visa from the consulate in Vietnam. File the app online, pay fee, go to the interview,... Pretty simple stuff.

Congrats!!!! you can have your mother in law to travel here. I believe she can stay up to 6 months. Also your wife can petition her mom to come over as an immigrant. I believe it takes about 2-3 years.

Also your wife can petition her mom to come over as an immigrant. I believe it takes about 2-3 years.

Wrong on two counts: The wife cannot petition the mom, because only US citizens can petition their parents, and once she does, it will take less than a year.
