A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS

[caregiver4ever 0]

My husband has his green card we have been married 3 years in U.S. K-1 visa. We want to bring his family here. Question one...Can he file to bring his mother here , just file because of the years it takes to get approved. If he filed now by the time she got approved he will be a citizan. Second question... Should we start bringing her here for visits first to establish that she comes and leaves when she should? One more ...She cannot travel alone she is elderly, would it be harder to have her and my husbands brother escort her here for a visit? Thanks

Your husband files I-130 for his family and can only file after he naturalizes and becomes a US Citizen.

LPR is very limited in who they can file for, (Children, or spouse),

Citizens can file for (Parents, Children, Spouse, Siblings+their (Spouse+Children).

You may want to download and read the instructions for form I-130.

Your spouse can apply for citizenship at 3 years of residency.

Mother can apply to visit but not immigrate.
