VisaJourney.com > General Family Based Immigration Topics > Bringing family members of US Citizens to America

Ol D
I am a PR as a wife of US citizen, will apply for naturalization in two weeks.
Do I eligible to file for a green card petition for my mother while still being a PR?
I understand, my husband can't file this petition for my mother.


My mother recently was denied in getting her visitor's visa, even though she has a job and property in Russia.
Unfortunately she is not married and doesn't have any more children except me.
I am not sure if there is a chance for her to get a visitor's visa.


Thank you,
Olga

You need to attach a copy of certificate of naturalization proving that you are a US citizen to the I-130, in order to petition for mother.

So no you cannot file the petition until you are a US citizen.

You can not petition until you are a US citizen. She can try for visit visa again.

You'll have to wait until naturalized to file the petition.

So long as the visitor's visas are just being denied for 214(b ) - failure to overcome the immigrant intent presumption - and the applications were truthful, the visitor visa denials will have no effect on the later immigrant visa application. We had two 214(b ) visitor denials before our recent approval.
