Hi all,
I've been approved for an intracompany transfer and plan to enter the US on a L1 visa, with a dependent newborn on L2 and my spouse who is simultaneously enrolling in grad school on an F1.
To make our first few weeks slightly easier, we've asked my mother to accompany us (on a B1 visa), while we settle in and figure out childcare options.
I'm wondering if the CBP will doubt her intent to return to her home country - for context, she's already been to the US a couple of times on a B1 visa previously and has never overstayed.
A second option is for her to enter the US by herself 1-2 weeks after us - it's slightly inconvenient but a doable option if it makes things easier with CBP.
Would appreciate your thoughts - thanks!
