Will the U.S. Embassy deny help to bring a grandchild to the U.S. if....?

Question

My aunt has so many different medical problems, some include end stage renal disease, coronary artery disease, and peripheral vascular disease. She goes through dialysis and is very weak. By doctors order she is unable to travel to the philippines where her son, daughter, and grandson are. The doctor has written a note explaining her medical situation, and we have asked an attorney if they can help us bring her son, daughter and grandson here. But out attorney said that if we ask the U.S. Embassy to also bring her grandchild here, they will deny us help because her grandchild is not an "immediate family member"

Is this true? Please help!

Answer 1

That is true by definition of the "immediat family member"

But I believe that if the grandson is belong to the son or daughter then the grandson should automatically receive the visa. Otherwise, no!

It also will depend on her financial affidavits & supporting documents.

Good luck!

Answer 2

The attorney saw sometimes else, which is intention to stay. You technically ask the entire family to come. Unless it is a life or death situation, your move is apparently a show of intention to stay. And they won't allow it.

But if you apply seperately, you may have the chance.
