NO.

The K-1 petitioner can NEVER petition his mother in law. Your fiancee/wife can petition her Mother after she becomes a US citizen. This will take about 4 years after she arrives if she is married to the petitioner (you) for three years after becoming a Permanent Resident.

A US CITIZEN can petition their parents just as a US citizen can petition their wife. Your fiancee must first be your wife and THEN be a US citizen.

Alla arrived in September 2008, became a citizen in April 2012 and petitioned her mother in May, 2012. Still no NOA2, so add another year to the process to get her mother here. We have not wasted any time and had short timelines for all our processes and it appears it will be almost 5 years after Alla arrived that her mother will arrive.

No! K1/CR1/IR1/GC Holder can't petition for their parents. Only USC can do it.

USC can't petition for mother-in-law/father-in-law. Answer is " No " for your case.

I see coz I thought HE can file my mom (his mother-in-law) a year after we get married.

It is not for immigrant status.

Because we plan to have a baby soon after we get married so that when I will give birth my mom is with me.

on my mind is just 6mos 6mos like tourist not for permanent.

*** Moving from K1 to Tourist Visa as OP has clarified that is the visa they are looking for ***

The answer is still No. You/ he can send a letter of invitation, and say that you will pay for all expenses, but the mother-in-law will need to apply for the tourist visa on her own, and qualify on her own (by showing strong ties to her home country such as minor kids, good job, owning a business etc). Also be aware that a tourist visa may not be used to work, and childcare is considered work. Your mother can come here to see her grandchild, but she may not do any type of babysitting you may pay a US resident for (such as look after the child while you go to work).

Sorry for the wrong category..

I see much clearer to me and I will also tell my fiance about this

so that he will know all of this.

Maybe my mom can do a tourist visa. My mom could definitely not be able to babysit a child because she's old (she is 63y.o)

and undergone a kidney operation. We just want her to be with me when the time comes I have to give birth.

Anyway, does her age and operation might be a wall on her tourist visa application?

[Penguin_ie 6,000]

It shouldn't affect her application, unless her kidneys are so bad that she may need expensive medical care in the USA, in which case you may be asked to submit proof of funds to pay for same or health insurance for her.

I see.. Again, Thank you for this, it's a big help to put out questions on our mind.. Godbless..
