Health Concern

[HumblEntry 0]

Hellow VJ friends. I currently hold a 10 years Green card (a permanent resident) I have a health concern, I am wondering if I can bring my Mother over  atleast for a month after I go through a surgery because I have no one to  be with after the procedure.

Any information how to go about it will be highly appreciated.

 

Thank you all in advance

You mother would need a valid visa such as a B2 to come to the US.  Does she have one or has she applied for one?  I am not aware of any other emergency type of visa for what you are suggesting, but others may know more.

 

Good Luck!

If she wants to visit she will need a B, one of out friendly Mods can move this post to the correct forum.

When is your surgery? does you mom have a tourist visa already?

Sorry, you can not bring your mother over.

Your mother will need to apply for a visitor visa.  If she tells the US Embassy that she wants to come care for you, she will get denied.  A visitor visa holder can not work and providing care (even unpaid to a family member) is considered work.  She can visit you.  She should not say anything about caring for you or your need for help after your surgery.

~~Moved to Tourist Visas, from Bringing Family of PR - The OP is looking at his mother visiting.~~

Yup, apply for a tourist visa. Nothing is required from you for her to do so - she will get the visa or not based entirely on the merits of her case. Good luck.

She cannot provide care for you. She can visit you. Don't cross those lines.

Hello, you can't get a home nurse after surgery to look after you?

I think that’s a little unfair. Major surgery is traumatic, and family can give the emotional support a nurse can’t. Said as someone who has both undergone it and been with family members who have. Sometimes you just want someone to sit and hold your hand.
