Hi all - im filling out the form for my mom whom i am petitioning and in the work section of the form they ask In which occupation do you intend to work in the U.S.? The answer for us would be babysit for me - she is retired and my husband and i have the means to take care of her she doesnt need to work. When i select other do i just explain that? Thanks!

If you select other, explain in short her occupation just the way it is.

Hi mrshill - you could do that.... as for me, I am in the same position with my parents, however I will simply write down RETIRED due to the fact that, while yes they will babysit my future kids, I wont actually be paying them any kinds of money. So technically speaking, they aren't being employed nor have an occupation and they are simply retired :)
