My wife is a current Green Card Holder with a pending I-751. She intends on applying for citizenship once she is eligible. That said, her mother (my mother-in-law) is currently living with us and has a pending asylum case (which I'm sure will take quite some time to be resolved). So my question: once a citizen, can my wife petition for her mother to get permanent residence while her mother is still in the US?

 

I tried looking this up but couldn't find anything.

Not a DIY, leave it to the Lawyer.

Just so you are aware, many applications for naturalization are taking close to a year at present and in some cases longer (uscis average across all FOs is currently 10.3 months),  so it may also be a while before your wife becomes a citizen.

Yeah I realize this. It is what it is. I'm just preparing for what might happen down the line.
