    Some of the posters in this thread have been on here for many years. Some, I would say over a decade. And we can confirm that what you stated is perceived as working. There have been posts like yours of people visiting and helping their family with kids in the US only to be later denied entry or having their visa revoked for working. Your sister did not have to be directly paid by you for it to be considered working. In fact, if you think about it, you provided her with room and board for half a year. That can be perceived as a form of payment in lieu of money. America is very expensive to live in. And I would even say it was very American of you to seek cheaper options for something that is pricey. However, when it comes to immigration, you have to make sure you know all the rules and nuances involved. I agree that your sister will likely not get another visa, at least for the time being. She can still get an immigrant visa later if she chooses to want to live in the US. However, it will take about 15 years to complete. Please continue to use this forum for any other question or concerns you may have. Many of us can say we have just about seen it all. If you have other family that are visiting, feel free to ask about common Dos and Don'ts.

    The B2 would be an option but there is a caveat. If she does not already have a B2 it may be difficult for the mother to obtain one based on her condition and reason for getting one. Medical issues may give the officer a belief she is a risk of having a medical issue in the US and possibly become a financial charge to the government. If your mother can show she has someone (you) have the means and funds to care for her, she may get the B2. Humanitarian parole is good for your situation because you and your mother have the right scenario for it, but it is a lot more work to prove eligibility. So be prepared because it is a lot more work to do than a B2. The third option would obviously be to arrange some time to visit your mother in her country. The reason I mention this is because there may be a chance that your mother may not get a visa to enter the US. So this would be a back up plan. Hope she gets better and best of luck.

    Hi, This is a really complicated scenario. It is best to seek an attorney for help on this one. I see two potential major issues: 1. There is no record of your bio mother from your birth. But there is record of it for your step mother. So establishing mother/child relationship will be a challenge. They may request DNA, but then the question of why your step mother is documented as your birth mother may come into play. 2. If your father never legally divorced, that means the US may see him as having two wives. This is a no-no for the Us government. If you apply for your father, it may be a challenge for him to bring his "current" wife, your stepmother. The US government may see him as still being married to his first wife. The lack of documentation of your mother (your birth and your father's divorce to her) is going to complicate things drastically. The US government loves documentation to make things easy. I hope this help explain some potential hurdles your family will face.

    Welcome to the forum. You don't. Unlike some other countries, there is no official sponsorship for a tourist visa to the US. So there is nothing for you to do. Your sister has to file on her own. And she should show that she has strong ties to her home country. Here is a helpful link for your sister to review the process:

    May-August does look suspicious. Let me help by putting playing the role as a CBP officer at your pet of entry. Because you seem to be extending your stay on every trip and your trips to the US seem to be frequent, I would have questions. Like: "How are you able to take so much time away from home?" If you do not have a job that will make things even more suspicious. "Where will you be staying during your visit here?" If you say a person I would follow up with who that person is. "Do you have any relatives here?" "Do you know anyone in the US?" If you answer yes to this question I would follow up with, "Who are they to you?" You may have noticied in this line of questions that I had an agenda to it. Your length of stay and the fact that you are repeatedly returning has the suspicion of a love interest here in the US. And this will cause red flags.
