Petitioning for In-Laws of US Citizens?

[WorldTraveler 0]

Hi All,

Is it possible to petition for my In-Laws (Mother/Father or both) for Pernament Residence and I am a US Citizen? I always thought only children who are US Citizens can petition their parents. Therefore, I am asking the question to set the record straight.

Thanks in advance,

Doug

You can not petition for in-laws, your spouse would need to be a USC first then he/she could petition for their parents.
