Philippine criteria don't exactly apply in pakistan, but coming across as straightforward likely key to approval.

None. She applies on her own merits showing reasons that she'll return home. I'd strongly advise against saying anything about the pregnancy at POE as officers are known to turn away foreign grandparents coming to help as it's seen as denying possible employment to a USC.

**** Moving from Bringing Family of US Citizens to Tourist Visas, as Op is not a citizen *******

She can come to visit and see her grandkid on a tourist visa, which she needs to apply for herself.

You can only bring her to live here/ immigrate once you are a US citizen.

Not sure for your country. MIL just approved 2days ago in philippines. So many have warned about not saying anything about grand kids, visiting children married and living abroad, not enough money in the bank, showing property deeds, etc etc etc. my MIL has no property, makes 3000php every 3 months, gave the reason for the visit is to see her newly born granddaughter and her daughter. She is a midwife by profession. Approved.

I think the biggest factor is the demeanor of the one being interviewed. The counselor has so much experience being able to read the smallest differences in someone telling the truth and one who is lying. I'm sure there have been and will be those who are good enough or lucky enough to get away with a lie, but usually for us normal people, they can read us.

My MIL is very open, very straightforward and singleminded. I'm sure that helped more than anything else during the questioning as that IS the reason she is coming to visit.

Good luck!!!

It is written on travel.state.govI that additional requested document may include evidence of:

1.The purpose of your trip

2.Your intend to depart the United States after your trip

3.Your ability to pay all costs of trip

My question is what documents do I have to collect to show evidence of above points?
