Expedited tourist visa for spouse's family

[Tacos 70]

My wife's aunt and uncle, who raised her, applied for their tourist visa but the soonest appointment is in 2025. My wife and I recently found out that she's pregnant with our second kid, and I'm gone a lot for work, and she's alone half the month, she would at least like her aunt to come and help because. Are we able to get the appointment moved up and can I do anything for their application? It would be great if they can come sooner. The aunt is a teacher, the uncle is retired, they own their home. Any advice for them to get their tourist visa approved?

You can't expedite a Tourist visa

 

There are Emergency appointments for emergencies

 

Best bet is for them to look for cancellations

Plus ,  she can  not come to work (care for the wife or new baby)  on a  tourist visa

Plus, she's going to quit teaching to come babysit?

This story sounded familiar. 

 

You've been trying to get your in laws I the US for a long time. Additionally, her bio mom and step-dad were attempting to enter the country illegally. Did they succeed?

Pregnancy is NOT an emergency. Any "help" from your aunt is considered work and that's a no-no on a tourist visa.

It will also make things difficult bearing in mind the question on the DS 160

Jeez.  

 

OP, time to stop trying to circumvent legal immigration for  your wife's family.  This is the very behavior that makes it difficult for legitimate travelers from her country.

That assumes it is answered truthfully.

First of all, I'm not trying to circumvent anything, our motives are legitimate, everything has been done truthfully. Secondly, you don't have the complete picture of the situation based upon two posts. I asked for advice on my situation, not opinions about our motives. A simple "no, it can't happen", or a "yes it can happen, but this is what's necessary to do..." would suffice. If it can't happen, so be it, we'll come up with an alternative plan. 

 

If nothing else, she will go down there before the due date, so she has some support, and we'll do a birth abroad through the embassy like we did with our first kid. 

 

I despise people who circumvent the system, I'm an immigrant myself, as is my wife. We both have been through the system, and it's been a long, expensive and complicated ordeal; we started this in 2019. My wife hasn't had an interview for her green card, even though we applied AOS nearly two years ago, while refugees and illegals are being given priority over others, so spare me with the accusations.

We have no idea where her mom is on her journey, we're not in communication with her, neither are the aunt and uncle, who don't don't get along with the mom either.

No, it would be for only 4-6 weeks.

The good thing is that for such a short period, if they don't get their visas, it is possible to hire a nanny for support and assistance.  Is your employer providing you with some leave also?  Grand-parents can then grandparent later, when they are able to come.   

[Boiler 45,715]

Not sure if you have been for a B interview, I did in a previous life. Now that is a bit of a story.

 

Anyway from my personal observations and everything I have seen since that conforms them the interviews are short, 2 or 3 questions, not a place for nuance even if you get a longer interview so I guess what I am trying to say is that you do not get any more opportunity to describe the situation than in the first posts here.

 

They of course do not have past posts to go through but they do have a lot of other system that check for things.

 

Anyway none of this matters unless she can pick up a cancellation. Not sure what the odds are but assume low.

 

In your other thread I said her Mothers actions would not impact her immigration situation, certainly can impact another immediate family member when it comes to visiting.
