bringing my mother in law to visit

[johngillison 0]

My wife recently became a US citizen and we would like to bring her mother to visit.

Any one know the procedure?

She applies for a tourist visa on her own merits using her toes to her home country and is either approved or denied.

She will need to file an I-130 and include her birth certificate showing her mother's name and her naturalization certificate:

This is if you want her mother to obtain a GC.

If you want her to get a visitor's visa then that would be a different process.

It is all on the local Consulate web site, pretty simple application.

I recently helped my in-laws get a Tourist Visa to visit the US from Colombia. It was a fairly easy process...but I'm an attorney so... But we just filled out the online application located at: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/

Follow the steps. You will have to provide her inlaws with an invitation letter, and if you plan on covering the expenses, you will have to provide financial documentation. 6 moths bank statements, letter from your employer showing your salary, pay stubs, tax returns and w2's. They will have to go to the interview at the closest US embassy...and it will be either approved or denied. We were fortunate, my in-laws were approved on the spot within 15 minutes! Best of luck.

for the bank statements, any idea of the amount? For pay stubs, we both are making over $3,000 per bi-weekly.

We both are us citizen and planning to bring my mom to welcome her grandkids (I'm having twins) in 3 months. Her immigrant visa is in processing but only NOA1 stage. Is there any suggestion to my case?

Thank you.

Be careful about mentioning anything about her assisting with care of the grandkids. Many a grandparent have been denied for this purpose as it can be seen as taking a job away from a US citizen.

Thank you. We only mentioned that we want her to welcome her new first generation in the letter, didn't mention to baby sit.
