Parents visit from Brazil in December 2021

[martinianodl 2]

I'm a GC holder, my wife is an American Citizen and we are pregnant.

My parents are planning to come visit us and the new grandkid in December from Brazil, but we are afraid of the travel ban. 

 

If the ban doesn't get lifted by December, does anyone know if there is a way to request a waiver for them? 

 

Thanks!

Do your parents already have tourist visas?  If the travel ban doesn't get lifted by December, they can spend 2 weeks in a country not covered by the ban before traveling to the US.  No need for a waiver.

Yes, they have tourist visas.

The only problem with them spending 2 weeks in a country not covered by the ban is that they were planning to spend 3 weeks. But I'll keep that in mind.

 

Thank you!

If the ban is not lifted (and I desperately hope it is because of the implications if it’s still in place by December) this will unfortunately be the only option for them, other than you meeting them in a third country. There is no waiver for parents of adults.

Since the U.S. is "opening up" a little from state to state, hopefully things will change by then.  From what I heard people had to stay 2 weeks in Mexico before coming to the U.S.
