Brin the Mother of Permanent Resident to US for good?

[Christian n Katy 0]

My husband's mother is in Venezuela - she doesn't have a job currently and she is not married and is all alone over there. Is there a way to bring her into the U.S. to live with us so we can support her? Please let me know, thank you!

How long does it take to become a citizen? Isn't that a really long process? There's no way to do it while he is resident?

Thank you for your response!

US Citizens CANNOT file an I-130 for IN-LAWS. In this case LPR must first become a US citizen, and only then can the file the I-130 for parent.

Monimum time to file for citizenship is 3 years after getting green-card, this requires being continuously married and living with same US citizen. IF not, than it is 5 years after becoming an LPR.
