Paper form for B2 visa

[RSiddiqui]

I am a US Citizen and need bilateral lungs transplant. As a requirement for lungs transplant by UCSF, I need two caretakers. My wife is one but I don’t have second care taker. So I wanted my nephew from India to come to USA on visit visa to take care of me for my transplant. My Dr wrote medical certificate for my need and my nephew as one of the two required care taker. However electronic form has no place to attach medical documents or the travel agent in India did not know. So US consulate did not even see my sponsorship form and medical certificate when my nephew went for visa interview even after his requesting them to see the documents. I think consular officer has a
ready makeup their mind not to give him visa before he went for interview. I went to immigration attorney in San Francisco and he said they don’t do visit visa. He is 45, married with wife with 3 kids in India 2 of them still in India. So she has to take care of his family in India and is going to go back after my transplant. So I was thinking of applying for him d onetime using old style paper form (not electronic) so that I can attach relevant documents. Does anyone have pdf or word format Application form for visitor visa for me to fill out and send to US consulate in Bombay? I can’t find it on UCSIS website. Or is there any attorney who can help me with this?

I don't think they accept paper form anymore.

Its on your nephew to convince the VO during the interview & have him see your medical documents.

To be blunt, I do not think he has a chance of getting a visitor visa with the intention of coming here to work. Working is what he will be doing as your caretaker.

You may be able to sponsor him for a H-2B visa. See below. H-2B Visa for Caregivers

This visa allows a family to sponsor a particular caregiver themselves, though the process is more complicated. As U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) explains, 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 U.S. workers who can do the work and that hiring an employee through the H-2B program will not “adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. 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 U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

USCIS states that there are three major steps to the process:

1. The petitioner (in this case, the family sponsoring the caregiver) submits a temporary labor certification application to DOL.
2. The applicant submits Form l-129 to USCIS.
3. Prospective workers outside the U.S. apply for a visa (or admission to the United States in H-2B classification with CBP in cases where a permit is not required).

There is an annual cap of 66,000 H-2B visas (H-2B workers “identified as ‘returning employees” are exempt). It is also important to check whether the caregiver you wish to employ is from a country on the H-2B Eligible Countries List.
