Bringing my mother to US

[Ol D 0]

I am a PR as a wife of US citizen, will apply for naturalization in two weeks.

Do I eligible to file for a green card petition for my mother while still being a PR?

I understand, my husband can't file this petition for my mother.

My mother recently was denied in getting her visitor's visa, even though she has a job and property in Russia.

Unfortunately she is not married and doesn't have any more children except me.

I am not sure if there is a chance for her to get a visitor's visa.

Thank you,

Olga

You need to attach a copy of certificate of naturalization proving that you are a US citizen to the I-130, in order to petition for mother.

So no you cannot file the petition until you are a US citizen.

You can not petition until you are a US citizen. She can try for visit visa again.

You'll have to wait until naturalized to file the petition.

So long as the visitor's visas are just being denied for 214(b ) - failure to overcome the immigrant intent presumption - and the applications were truthful, the visitor visa denials will have no effect on the later immigrant visa application. We had two 214(b ) visitor denials before our recent approval.
