Filing paperwork for mother as LPR

[dankdo 0]

My wife is pregnant and we were wondering what route we should take for her mother from Vietnam to come visit and care for my wife?

 

Should we go the route of tourist visa or go through family based immigration visa?

 

Any help appreciated. Thank you!

Can't do it as a tourist if the MIL is going to help take care of the wife and or baby, that's work.

Your mother in law cannot use tourist Visa to work. Taking care of your wife and baby is considered working in the immigration world. Not to mention sounds like the mother would like to immigrate so that's not allowed on b2 Visa either. 

 

If your wife is USC she can sponsor her mother for immigrant Visa. Green card holders cant sponsor parents.

Here we go again. It is ok for grandparents/in-laws/what-have-you to come to visit and spend some quality time with you and your family in the US. It is not fine for them to work.

If you need help with the baby or caring for your wife, you need a care worker. No visa required as there are plenty of them available for work in this country. Contact a reputable care agency in your area.

 

If your mother-in-law wants to visit she needs a tourist visa (B-1). She cannot work, not even unpaid caring for her own flesh and blood, as a visitor.
