Q: Wife pregnant. What visa should my mother in law apply for to enter United states?

A: Your mother in law may apply for a B2 visa to visit her pregnant daughter

A: I agree, but it would be best for your wife to seek naturalization if the processing time to obtain conditional residence has succeeded more than three years since she became conditional resident status.

I strongly recommend an appointment with a company and experienced immigration attorney before there are any complications.

A: Your mother-in-law, who wishes to visit the U.S. to be with your wife during her pregnancy, should consider applying for a B-2 tourist visa. This visa is designed for individuals traveling to the United States temporarily for leisure, tourism, or medical treatment. In this case, her purpose would be to visit family and provide support during your wife's pregnancy, which falls under permissible activities for a B-2 visa.

When applying for the visa, it's important for your mother-in-law to provide evidence of her ties to Nigeria, such as employment, property, or family, to demonstrate her intent to return after her visit. She should also prepare to explain the purpose of her trip, the duration of her stay, and show that she has sufficient funds to cover her expenses while in the United States.

It's also helpful to include a letter of invitation from you or your wife, outlining the reason for her visit. While the extension letter of your wife's conditional permanent residency status isn't directly related to the visa application, it may be useful to show as part of establishing your family's situation in the U.S.

Remember, the issuance of a B-2 visa is at the discretion of the U.S. consular officers, and they will assess the application based on its merits and adherence to U.S. immigration laws. Consulting with an immigration attorney can provide more personalized guidance and increase the chances of a successful application.
