her children, her mom

[guitarman7 2]

For my wife to bring herself and two young children, can we use an I-130 and CR-1 process, or do we have to use a K3?

Also- my new mother-in-law. It's my understanding that my wife will need to become a citizen and then file a I-130 for her mom.

Is that correct?

You can petition for your fiancee/wife and her children, but you can not petition for her mother. She will have to do that once she obtains US citizenship.

yes for your wife and her children one i130 each. for her mother to come she needs to wait until she becomes a USC that will take some years.

Yes, I-130 for the children. They will get CR-2 visas.

The mother waits until your wife becomes a citizen and then your wife petitions her with an I-130 also

About 3.5-4 years from when she arrives. Add another year to process the I-130 for the mother. My wife arrived in September 2008 and we expect her mother here this summer, nearly 5 years later.

3 humans? a wife and 2 children?

that's one I-130 per human, or 3 I-130's.

Suggest you submit them all together, and good luck !
