She wants to bring her Mom here

This is not my situation, but what if your girl/woman/potential bride insisted on bringing her Mother/Father etc. also to America after you were married?

I know the family unit in other countries seems to be much tighter, but my opinion is that, "hey, I am marrying you, not your mom and dad."

As for me this would be a deal breaker.

We're both Indian by heritage and in our culture you marry a family, not an individual.

That's the theory. In reality, you have to temper expectations with practicalities like health insurance and other things. I'd let my in-laws move in with me in a heartbeat if they could pay their own medical insurance.

They're visiting us right now and it's been nice having them around.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

You know it takes years and years and years to bring a parent to the US, right? I mean, it's not like they'd be moving in the week after the honeymoon.

I would say "praise the lord". Her family is hard working, nice and industrious. My God; those people who have needed places to stay and have lived in my house have either ripped me off or destroyed things. I would love a community of good people in my house. Jenny's family "come on down".

It wouldn't be deal breaker for me. But Rey would never, ever want to do that. I would be fine with it if she had an apartment of her own, and I'd be fine with paying for that. NOT with her living with us. But I think this would be more of an over-Rey's-dead-body issue.

If you could get them their own apartment, would it be as big a deal? I mean, most American couples live near at least one set of in-laws...

I thought they can get a visitors visa rather quickly.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Depends on country of origin and state of their finances...

From many countries, yes, but I thought this post was about the foreign spouse wanting to sponsor his/her parents to move to the US permanently. Mostly because I certainly hope the OP isn't so much of an ******* that he'd forbid his wife from ever having her parents *visit*.

It is good to see that the love for our spouse is so unselfish. I feel all warm and runny inside.

My wife can apply for citizenship 3 years after her entry into the US. It takes about a year to petition a parent so that's 4 years.

We talked about this but what in the world would she do here? She doesn't know any English and there are not many Filipinos in Tucson. I don't think she would be very happy being alone and isolated even if living with us. All her family and friends are back home.
