My wife and i got married in December 2014 and after filling out I-485 she finally got her 2 year green card.

We are now looking for guidence on what to do about bringing her mom into the USA, and we are not sure what are our alternatives are and process (resident, tourist visa, maybe in-law visa if there is such a thing) i am just throwing things out there.

We are planning on workiing on getting a child soon, and eventually she would like her mom to be there on the due date, maybe in a year from now, and stay here for a while to help us with our kid.

My wife is working and so am i. We also own a house and we make above the poverty line income.

Please let me know of any process, guidance, tips, what to do, and not to do, or are we too soon to ask for relatives as she just got her 2 year green card, etc.

Only option is tourist visa and the mom would have to apply at her own merit showing strong ties to her home country.

There is no in law visa . I do not think your wife will be able to petition her until your wife becomes a citizen.

As far as a tourist visa. I do not know how hard that is to obtain one from your wife country. Her mother will have to get the visa on her own. She will need to show strong ties to her country and she has no intention of staying in the USA. It might be hard for her to prove that as her daughter is here

good luck

If you want your wife to bring her mom to live in USA, she will have to wait until she becomes citizen. If she just got her 2 year GC, she will have to renew that GC in 2 years (remove conditions) and after that she will be allowed to apply for citizenship and petition her mom to move here.

If your wife only wants her mom to come for a couple months to visit, her mom will have to apply for a tourist visa (B2) in her home country. It's not impossible to get a tourist visa, but her mom will have to prove STRONG ties to her country.

My mom got her 10 year tourist visa last year and I'm her only daughter.

The Possibility is to bring her here with a tourist visa. But remember, babysitting is consider as a work it does not matter it is her mom or not. Many moms of LPRs got their visas denied because when the CO asked what they will doing in the US their answered mostly were trying to help daughter takes care of baby.

Wow, your mom was very lucky. I have a girlfriend, she's married to the USC and also the only child and her mom (and dad) got a tourist visa denied three times.

hi

she needs to be a USC to petition for her mom

her mom can get a tourist visa but cannot come to work, taking care of your child is considered work, she can come to visit, if she gets the tourist visa

LPRs can't petition for parents, and there are no in-law options. You will have to wait until your wife becomes a USC.
