OP,  

 

The care of an infant is not difficult and certainly not when compared with the parenting of a teenager. Infant care consists of 3 things - keeping baby fed, keeping baby clean, and keeping baby safe and loved. It is not necessary to worry about cleaning house, fancy cooking, and other unessential things until you are back on your feet. Your husband can do the physically demanding tasks. He can actually be trained to change diapers and give the baby a bath (they are slippery little dudes when soaped up ).

 

As the mother of 4,  I speak from experience. It just isn't that difficult; it is just tiring. You suffer from sleep deprivation. I suffer from that frequently because my disabled adult child frequently calls for assistance during the middle of the night.  Mothers of infants often return to work 6 weeks after giving birth, and both mother and child survive.

 

Your hospital or clinic likely presents classes for soon-to-be parents, both you and your husband should take them. Line up reliable babysitters - daytime and nighttime - so you can take a break or  go for groceries in bad weather without the need to take a newborn out. Even a teenager can come and stay after school so you can take a nap without having worry about watching the baby every minute.

 

You CAN do this so stop stressing.

1.  They are coming to visit and help, I am not paying them they will be first time grandparents (my husband is an only child) and want to visit the baby for as long as possible.  They were granted these tourist visas back when my husband and I got married in the USA and they were given them for 10 years so they have been back and forth to visit several times.  Yes, I am using them to babysit but I wouldn't consider it work since I would also be using my US Citizen Mom if they cannot.  Its not a company its a family.

 

2. Could you give me any examples of how they would show that, would it be at the POE?  Bank accounts, jobs and such? 

immigration considers it work as if they were not here, you would have to pay a babysitter / it is not the way you look at things but the way immigration sees it

if they have a tourist visa,  use it or apply for permanent residency for them before Trump gets his bill passed that stops "chain immigration"

How do you use a tourist visa to apply for permanent residency?

There will soon be a bill presented to congress to end chain migration. You can thank all the illegal immigrants who poured across our borders for that. 

That's a very odd comment, especially from someone from the country that generates more chain migration than any other. Why have illegals caused the administration to reconsider legal migration? The two are completely unrelated. I can understand you might be bitter if chain migration ends if you have plans to petition family members (or already have petitions running) but that's got nothing to do with people "pouring across the border".

Well the focus is on the more remote categories but no harm sponsoring now if she wants to come. I know Canada stopped Parents immigrating, not sure if they still do.

but if they are not planning on staying here permanently, then why get a green card? It will get revoked eventually ... 

 

 

You might be better served by applying for them to stay beyond the 6 month limit due to extenuating circumstances ... they can do that after 90 days in the US.

Having a baby is not an extenuating circumstance.  Even maternity leaves in the US are for less than 6 months. When I worked they were 6 or 8 weeks.

Babysitting is work & not permitted on a tourist visa.

Maybe they could just come to visit on their existing Visa & see the baby.

It does take 9-18 months for a Parent Visa to be approved so I would apply if they do want to live here before it is all changed.

I have two babies (now almost 4 and just over 1) and I tend to disagree.

These little hooligans are nuts!

 

PS: My mom's IV got issued yesterday, today she received it at home and she's immigrating here on Saturday (for the very purpose of dealing with my two little hooligans).

If you cannot deal with your toddler and preschooler, how do you think an older aldy will be able to do so? There are reasons children are gifted to the young.  In a few years when you have a moody 12 year old who cries whenever you look at her crosswise or the 16 year old son who slams his bedroom door so often that he loses the privilege of having one (yes, we did take the door off the hinges and put it in the attic) you will wonder why you thought 1 and 4 was so hard.
