Hello Everyone,
I am a natural born US citizen.
I married a filipina in 2008, filed a visa for her (using this great website for guidance) to immigrate her and she has been in the states with me since 2009 and has her green card all in good standing. I am the primary $ earner and she is a stay home mom raising our two baby girls.
I tell all of this simply as the back story for my question...
I (we) would like to bring her mother over from the Philippines to live with us. Can I sponsor my mother-in-laws visa or does my wife have to file for her?
Many thanks for your help.
Regards,
David
Can I petition for my mother-in-law? |

hi, no you cannot file for in laws, your wife must become a USC and file for her own parents.

So it sounds like she would need to proceed with becoming naturalized and then she could file the I-130 with me as the co-sponsor?
I think I read in the guide that she would need to be living here three years in order to file, does that three years start from the date she received her visa and entered under the I-130 I filed for her or from the date her green card was issued after removing conditions?
Regards,

Yes you are correct- she will file the I-864 and you a I-864A.
She can file for naturalisation 90 days before her 3 year greencard anniversary (the "resident since..." date on her greencard)

aah ok that is the way it sounded in the pamphlet, thanks for clarifying. I think I may try to bring her over for a visit on the tourist visa route in the mean time.
