Can I apply for my mother on a two year conditioned permanent residency?

[sinpisto 2]

I have a question: I recently obtained my conditioned permanent residency based on marriage after a K-1 application. Can I fill a petition for my mother and sister now or I need to wait for the condition to be lifted. I think that I need to wait for the condition but I am not sure at this point.

Thank you.

You will need to be a US Citizen before you can file for your mother and sister. Your mother will be classed as an immiediate relative and will get a visa within 10 - 18 months from applying. Your sister will have to wait for a visa to become available to her and it is a very long wait 10 years +.

NO

Only US Citizens can petition for siblings, and parents. You need to wait until after you naturalize and become a US citizen, the earliest you can file N-400 for citizenship is 3 years after you are issued your first green-card, if continuously married to and residing with a US citizen.

A US Citizen CANNOT file for IN-Laws.

These threads always make me wonder what the real motivation for was for marrying a USC and moving here.....

I don't question them much, when the time comes my wife will file the I-130 for her sister and leave it for her sister to decide 10+ years later to either come to USA or stay in the home country.

I would imagine it's quite hard being so far away from loved ones. My close knit family is the reason my husband moved to the other side of the world instead of the other way around.

I know if I was the beneficiary and if my family had any interest in moving closer to me, I woudln't hesitate. I don't question the motivation at all.

Why?

I know that if my father wasn't happy where he was I would petition him quick smart to come over here as soon as he could.

Some people miss their families, why shouldn't they be together?

I think you are implying that ceirtain people get married for a visa, I am sure that there are fraudulent marriages but there are ceritainly many genuine ones and the desire to bring your loved ones, close and direct family members, it does not qualify as a critery to discriminate between them.

So you probably will questions your spouse decision to marry you if she or he, after obtaining a US citizenship, file a petition to bring his/her parents?

Besides, it is perfectly legal for a USC to claim his parents. It's the immigration law, as you know.

Let us put it another way, if you were part of a possibly large and very close family and it was very important for you to maintain that, would you want to move from one side of the US to another, never mind to a country half way around the world?

LOL...I'm more than happy to be FAR away from my family!
