I currently work in Amazon, India as an SDE 2. I want to internally transfer to the USA and bring my mom to stay with me there. What are the options that I have to bring her along?
She can come in B2 visa and stay for 6 months every time she comes. Typically stay out 6 months and stay in US 6 months in a given year.
Can try Eb5 route also
Marry someone with a GC here, get a GC, then bring her here. It's a long process though and I really hope that that's not the reason you decide to marry someone.
That doesn't work. You can sponsor only your wife and kids. Not your parents.
Or business visa ... not sure if you have to show $0.5 million or $1 million worth of investment money , a couple of US employees etc. Depending on her skill set, think about starting a day care, restaurant or real estate investment company etc.
Question: why did you change your username after making the post?
How much ๐ฐ does your family have? If you have 1.8 million, then non-TIA EB5 route doesn't have any waiting queue. You can come over on H1B, and submit a EB5 application for your mother which should get her a GC in 2 years or so. Otherwise, max 6 months at a time in a year on visitor visa is your only option. That too is not guaranteed - I know a person who's parents visited like that for 3 years and during the last visit, the visa officer at Port of entry said that they are visiting too frequently for longer stretches, and told not to come next year.
Wait times aren't true anymore. For India wait time in EB5 is about 5-8 years.
Curious how do your parents pay for healthcare while they are here? Do they bring coverage? How does that work?
You pay for their insurance.
If you want to go the cheaper route, apply for green card after coming here. You will get it within 150 years. Citizenship will take another 5 years. Now you can apply for her green card which I am guessing takes 2-3 years. So overall in around 160 years, you should able to stay together in USA without worrying about any Visa restrictions.
This!
As if humans live for 1000 years.

300k fully remote vs 450k 3x RTO, which would you choose?
She will be alone and I don't have any relatives I can leave her with.
I know people in the same boat who moved back to be with family.
