is visa waiver still valid.

Since I am from Australia and a permanent resident of the US can my mother still come to visit me on a visa waiver or does she have to get a b-2 visa?

If your mom is an Australian national, she will be able to travel without a visa for tourist and business travel of 90 days or less provided she possess an e-passport and an approved authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). No need for a visa.

Yep, aaron is correct. The fact that you are a LPR in the USA doesn't affect your mom's ability to visit on the VWP (my mom is from Switzerland and visits that way too).

My family visits me from Spain with Visa Waiver as well. Even if you become a US citizen, nothing should change for them.

Thank you all so much!
