If I become a US Citizen, can I bring my mother to US

[MapleLeafBaby 1]

I'm just looking ahead. I read the guides and want to make sure I understand.

Once I become a permanent resident, I can become a USC after 3 years? Once I become a USC, can I apply for my mother to immigrate from canada to the US? I understand that I would have to meet the requirements, support etc... but if I did meet all the requirements, would my situation qualify?

Just want to see what the future holds, as I would like to eventually have my mother close to me as she ages, and I can take care of her.

Thanks

Yes this is a common topic, ONLY US Citizens can file an I-130 petition for a parent to immigrate to the USA, a US Citizen cannot file for an IN-Law.

No you can apply to become a citizen after 3 years of permanent residency as long as you are still married to the same USC. The permanet residency is based on the date your green card is issued. It is not three years from when you arrive in the US. YES any USC can petiton a parent you can do it the day you get your certificate of naturalazation. Good luck however get married and get the AOS started

Sure thing ,if you are qualify.My older sister came here on a student visa,several years later married a USC.Eventually,she too became a citizen,applied for our mother who got her GC shortly after.My mother too becam a citizen,petitioned for her remaing children back in Cameroon.Good news is two of my brothers have been approved .My situation is different though since i had moved to Canada where i met my fiance and entered the US on K 1.

Happily married..

So,yes you can bring your dear mama tobe with you.

I came on a K1 and am now a citizen and I have sponsored both my parents, they are just waiting for their interview in July and they should be here in Aug. So yes it can be done.

I too became a US Citizen 3 years & 4 months after I became a greencard holder.
