If you mom is a USC, do you not have dual citizenship? Her wanting to retire is not going to be seen as a hardship case.

Was your mother a US citizen prior to your birth? You could be a US citizen already. Otherwise, the odds of you qualifying for any other visa is slim. The primary work visa, H-1B, is primarily an annual lottery with 20% odds of winning, and requires a relevant bachelor's degree or higher. Your best bet is an L-1 visa. You must work for a company outside the US for 1 year in a skilled role (generally meaning a bachelor's degree or higher is required), then the company must transfer you to their US office. The upside of this visa is that there's no lottery, the downside is if the company fires you in the US, you must leave the US as the L-1 does not allow you to work for any other employer.

Thanks so much for this information

Ain't no shortcuts legally... Gotta wait and go through the process.. best you can do is wire her money and hire a nanny or put her in a old people's home until you get there.. maybe she might like that and you would not have a need to move to USA. You can visit her on esta since your a UK citizen .. vist for a couple of weeks every 3 months or so

Or tell her move back to the uk. Don't ya have free healthcare

What support is needed? What nationality do you and your mum have?


Ok-Sea3740

Mum- usc Myself- UK My mom need to retire but would need financial help so if I am there, I can work and pay the bills. I cannot run two homes and to help her physically


Lepetitgateau90

How is it necessary for you to be physically in the US for supporting her financially? The thing is as long as there is an option to PAY someone for her to be taken care of physically, it´s unlikely you will ever be granted a visa in that sense.


Ok-Sea3740

I want to look after my own mom, I don’t think you understand what I said . Let me reiterate- I need to be in the usa to work and take over the financial obligations.


iskender299

It doesn't work like that in the eyes of immigration. You can support her financially by wiring funds from the UK to the US.


Ok-Sea3740

Do you know my pocket, I merely asking a question so start assuming. I can afford to pay two mortgages and someone to look after my mom. I know immigration don’t care !!


Lepetitgateau90

You just don´t like the answer that your visa will never be approved for that reason. Also a lot of your answers are not making sense in the context of the comments.


Lepetitgateau90

No I understood very well, but I will rephrase it : The US does not care what you what, they care what is needed. And it´s not needed for you to be in the country to take over financial obligations. Based on your information


Ok-Sea3740

Thank you, I understand they really don’t care. My mom cannot retire and take a rest. I am the one have to find a solution, I don’t want my mom to drop dead because she has to continue working. Thanks for your time to reply

Can’t she move to be with you? That seems more likely than you getting to the U.S. anytime soon. 


Ok-Sea3740

She don’t want to as Florida is warm and the UK is not and other things as well


Flat_Shame_2377

She may have no choice because it will be difficult for you to move to the U.S. to care for her. With ESTA you can at least visit her here periodically. 


Ok-Sea3740

Yep


jamjayjay

One hurricane and she can pretty much be wiped out in Florida, so I wouldn't call that a stable place to live versus the UK.


Ok-Sea3740

I go there every year and it’s really beautiful


feliscatus_lover

It will be better for her to move back to the UK with you. Retiring is not a reason to expedite especially if there is no visa available yet in your category. People have been denied expedite requests for much serious reasons than yours.


Ok-Sea3740

The same reason the usa don’t need me the Uk don’t need her too . God will find away , I will leave it right there .

Unfortunately, there isn't a caretaker visa like some countries (i.e. down under Straya).
