My grandmother looked after me for the first 6 months of my life never asked but assume now it was postpartum 

 

Not so much then but certainly now a lot of people are dependent on 2 salaries, fact of life.

 

Times change reality changes just the regulations have not. 
 

Sort of like remote working

 

Can it be an issue of course, most seem to let it slide

Your case, x years ago, different country, different family, so many many assumptions on this forum lol. 

 

we have had people before say “I need my mom/MIL to come so we can both work”. This thread was not that. At all. Not so much reading between the lines as off the edge of the page.

No, but spending time with your kids, your new grandchild, possibly other family members and being here for another birthday does.

 

Exactly!! Many, many retired parents/grandparents stay for months, we know of cases where they come for nearly 6 months every single year for years on end. And it's always OK! If you just listened to VJ you'd think they were all here either trying to overstay and/or work illegally and/or would be denied entry every time. Yet that's not the case.

Many retired grandparents do  but the poster says,   "For strong ties to Morocco can we use husband/son/family? Or would a job be better? " so not retired

So what is so special about india vs morocco that many Indian grandparents stay 6 months a year every year?

 

If she asks for 6 months and they grant her a 6 month stay she can stay for 6 months! Yes even from morocco!  It’s not difficult!

CBP agents take in account a few things when granting entry and deciding on length of allowed stay, like travel history or age; it is not limited to just country of origin.

Yes, I know that, if you looked at what I had quoted I was responding directly to the “claim” in the prior post that focused solely on country of origin. And the IMO somewhat silly assertion that she should not stay for 6 months because of her country of origin. If she asks for it and gets it of course she can.
