Hi,

Vietnamese citizens can qualify for a single visit or multiple visits B2 visas valid for 1 year after issuance. Most people get multiple visits for 1 year.

80% of applicants were approved in 2013 from VN for B2 visas.

Don't have your MIL say anything about caring for grandchildren since caring for children is considered illegal work. She is just here to visit. This has tripped up many grandmothers who were denied visitor visas to the US.

Thank you so much for your info, Aaron2020. It is not that my wife and I will let her mom to take care a baby.

Instead, my wife wanted her mom to come here to teach her how to take care her first baby.

It seems that it will cause the deny of most visitor visas.

Adjudication will depend on how the applicant presents herself and her desire to go to the US.

I've seen plenty of Vietnamese grandmothers in the US taking on the traditional role when the daughter gives birth. It's not traditional in the US, so it must be presented in a way that convinces the CO to issue a visa.

In my observations, the VN grandmothers who get visas understand that they want the visa to visit the US (thăm). Those who get denied will say things like wanting to go to the US to help raise the grandchild or care for the daughter (nuôi).

Have your MIL focus on the visiting aspect. Do not mention caring for her grandchild or her daughter.
