I would like to bring my cousin here in the US from the Philippines to be the caregiver of my mother-in-law. Can I do that? If so, how?

The H2-B visa allows a family to sponsor a particular caregiver themselves, though the process is more complicated. The visa allows individual employers to hire foreign nationals to fill temporary nonagricultural jobs. In this case, the family sponsoring a caregiver would need to prove that there are not enough US workers who can do the work and that hiring an employee through the H-2B program will not affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed US workers. The family must also show that their need for the caregiver’s services or labor is temporary as well as provide a valid temporary labor certification from the US Department of Labor (DOL).
