My wife has recently gotten her green card for 2 years and now she is pregnant and we were wanting to bring her mother here cause it is for cheaper for her to visit then it is for the both of us to take off from work. We had our doctor put together a letter about our pregnancy and I personally am just wondering is it going to be easier for us to petition for her to come here or is it easier for her to get a tourist visa? We are due around the first of April.

You cannot petitioner for her, it has to be your wife. In order for your wife to petitioner her, your wife must be a US citizen. Your mother in law can apply for a visitor visa. She must be approved on her own merits and prove very strong ties to her home country. A letter from your wife's doctor won't do a thing.

Sounds like you want Childcare?

Additionally to the above, she cannot be your babysitter while on a tourist visa.

Your mother in-law can apply for visitor visa or wait until your wife become US citizen then file a petition for her. If applying for visitor visa, what is going to be in the invitation letter?

Like everyone else said, you cannot petition for her and neither can your wife since she's not yet a USC. She can apply for a visitors visa but she has to be approved on her own.

I tried this 3 years ago with my mom when I was pregnant and she was denied. They didn't even look at the letter.

I'm not a USC and pregnant again but this time she'll come on a IR5 (just approved)
