Obtaining Visas for Dependent Family Members

Under a new sympathetic interpretation of the B-2 provision by both USCIS and the Department of State, your mother and your brother could possibly qualify to accompany you to the States under B-2 visitor status. You would of course have to show that you are all living in the same household and that you have a nonimmigrant working visa in this country. Your mother and brother could be allowed to stay for a year with the possibility of extensions dependent upon the length of your nonimmigrant work.
