She can apply for a Visitors visa, but that does not allow her to help you. She would ned a work visa for that and there is no realistic chance of getting one.

She applies for a Visa at the local Consulate, see the web site for particulars. Look for B2.

The I-134 can be helpful if she can not show sufficent funds to support her vist, much better if she uses her own assets.

Huh? She can't help her daughter without a work visa?

Totally incorrect info! Yes she can come help you. She can show the papers or apartment or assets with your dad, and show a marriage license that they are married, hence the property/assets are theirs together.

The I-134 for a visitor visa depends on the country. I know when I wanted my aunt to visit me from Poland that I had to fill one out for her.

I think it would be helpful to have maybe a letter from the doctor that you are pregnant & estimated delivery date, think this would help the consulate believe your case.

But no matter what, a work visa is NOT NEEDED.

A work visa is needed to work, and that was mentioned in the original post.

It is not needed to visit, an important distinction.

Which is work.

If she did not do it something you would have to pay somebody else to do or go without.

Just trying to help, she needsto be VERY clear what she is going to be doing and what not if you want a chance at a visa.

Boiler,

Is there any precedent that makes you think that a CO would view her mother's visit as work? I find it hard to believe that travelling to be with your daughter through her delivery and helping her recover afterwards would be construed as work.

Seen it plenty of times on other posts, there is one on the go on the Russian Board at the moment about somebody whose mother was refused a B2. Usually it is on the lines of I want my Mother to come over for 6 months so I can go back to work.

Took 40 odd posts to find out that she also wanted her to come to the US to help with the birth of her child.

Now of course the Consulate do not specifically refuse a visa stating this. Well I do not think so anyway.

If you want an analogy research posts about what you can do whilst waiting for EAD, not just something that you do not get paid for BUT also something a USC or Legal Resident would not get paid for either.

Child Care is a paid occupation.

So is post natal care.

So is Babysitting.

Obviously a fine line in some cases, could be crucial to know where it is. And I am sure it is broken all the time. I probably did whilst waiting for EAD to come through. I would argue otherwise of course, but then I was here not applying for a visa.

A grandmother coming to witness the birth of her first grandchild and helping out her daughter by sharing her wisdom and her nurturing experience as her daughter learns how to look after a newborn does not fall in the realm of 'paid childcare'. There is no exchange of fee for labour with a structured work day or contract of service. Post natal care is given generally by a nurse with a contract of services. Babysitting is also a contract of services. The grandmother is not displacing any existing worker, she is not receiving payment, and she has no contract either verbal or otherwise. She is not working. She is a grandmother who will rock her newborn grandchild to sleep and change her diapers and sing to her when she is fractious. She will smile with love and with pride at this newest member of her family. She is not taking the place of the mother; she is not taking the place of a paid worker; she is assuming the place that is rightfully hers and hers alone - as grandmother for her daughter's child. By your definition of labour, Boiler, the newborn mother had darn well better have an EAD or else she is not allowed to look after her own child - afterall, it is work and she is displacing someone who is legally allowed to work instead. So, know any wetnurses looking for employment? Boiler, don't be so ridiculous.

But her mother is not coming to the US for bussiness. She is only coming to care for her daughter and her child, that's all. What if her mother brings her own money for her trip here and is not being paid at all? Does that make her have to apply for a work visa, too?

You have heard of mothers being refused B2 but the bottom line is her mother doesn't even have to apply for B2 visa.

Please yourself

All I ask is no bitching on the next thread, My Mother was refused a visa and I need her here now.

Of course not, but there was no mention of any other visa that her, I assume Egyptian, mother would have a prayer of getting.

Boiler,

Let's hope that most consulate's aren't as ####### as you are. Babysitting is a paid job only if it is PAID. But since the mother is coming to hold her daughter's hand while she delivers a baby, that is not work, nor will she get paid for it.

So if you want to get all technical, what do you consider a person visiting on a visa doing. If they are nice to their host and clean up after themselves, do you consider them being a paid maid? Then that's illegal cause they should be here on a work visa, right?
