Need Advice on B2 VISA

[umanna]

I am current working in the US as a H1B employee in a University. I am planning to sponsor a B2 visitor VISA for my mother. I would really appreciate if you please give me some advice on what might be the best way to present her case during the VISA interview.

We are expecting a baby in January, and she wants to visit US sometimes after January to see her grandson/daughter. Is this a good enough reason to apply for a B2 VISA? I have heard stories that her visit might be interpreted as taking up jobs of nannies and her application might be rejected.

Or would simply applying for a B2 VISA for the purpose of pleasure be a better idea? However, given that she is a widow and home-maker, this option might be a bit tricky! She is currently living with my brother in India. No other direct family ties. She has a house and some lands in her name. No significant amount of money in her bank account.

I will truly appreciate if you please give me some advice on this based on your own experience.

Many thanks in advance!!

Keep tourist visa for tourism and plan accordingly.

Dear Administrator,
Thank you very much!! Do you mind elaborating your answer a bit? I mean given her background why do you think applying for a tourist visa would be a better idea rather than visiting US to see her grandson/daughter?

Many thanks!!

Being a widow and purpose of visit ( for the baby) both can make it difficult . She should not apply alone. If your bro is married, they all can apply
to just visit you guys.
