Hi All, it's been little while since I have been here. Hope everyone is doing well. Obviously I am here because I have question and I have to rescue from my fellow VJers. :innocent: I am thinking about filing paper-works for my in-laws and that have raised some questions in my curious mind. My wife came in here in NOV-2010 and I am US citizen. So, she will become US citizen in three years, that will be NOV 2013 :rolleyes: . So, should I wait till she becomes US citizen or go ahead and file paper-works for my in-laws to come her as permanent resident? They (only my Mother-in-law) tried for visitor visa for twice but she was denied. Thanks!

hi,

you can't file for your in laws, only USC children can file for their own parents. when she becomes a USC, she can file separatly for each parent.

I mean my wife will be filing but I will be doing the processing part :( . I agree I can not file for her parents. But she is green card holder so can green card holder file for their parents (that's what I am I asking...sorry for any confusion)?

Thanks

no problem. if you read again, only USC children can file for parents. she has to become a US Citizen first. residents cannot file for parents, siblings or married children.

Dumer...thanks! I thought they can still file and when they become USC the file gets rolled over to USC status. But I assume that only works for husband and wife?

Thanks again

An LPR can only file for a spouse or an unmarried child. This is why an LPR husband can file for his wife, get his US citizenship, and then upgrade. An LPR cannot file for a parent. Therefore, the petition would be denied because there is no basis for USCIS to accept the petition. The child must be a US citizen at the time of filing to petition a parent. Your wife must wait until she is a US citizen to petition her parent. She must provide proof of US citizenship when she files. If she files before she is a US citizen, the petition will be denied no matter what and all the fees will not be refunded.

Thanks! Somereason I really thought you can do this. TOo bad. Thank you all

Very nice and thoughtful of you though to try to help her with bringing her parents. Once she becomes a citizen though the wait shouldnt be too bad. It took me about 1.5 years from filing for her to get her visa approved. Good Luck.
