Hi everyone! So, after two and a half months since my husband has become a US Citizen, we finished the paperwork for his mom and dad to adjust their status. Each I-130, each I-485, each I-765, etc. are on their way as I type this!! So now, it's the waiting game, right? When we first filed for my husband, he received something that enabled him to go down to the DMV to get a driver's license. Can anyone tell me what my mother and father-in-law will need in order to do the same? I can't recall what it was, but I think it was something he received almost immediately.

Also, when we filed as husband and wife, we hadn't been married for long (about two months) and we had to wait that two year period before we could remove the conditions of his residency. Is there a waiting period for his parents? I read somewhere that there is not. So, does that mean they will receive green cards right away...as long as everything is approved? After that, how long before they can apply for their citizenship?

Sorry, I know I'm rolling a lot of questions into one topic. I appreciate any help in advance. OH...one more, how do I create a fun signature chronicling the events of this process?? :) I'm so nervous. And excited. It's been...interesting. Filing for my husband was such a process, but it was such a relief when everything was done. And watching him take his citizenship oath was probably one of the best moments of my life...aside from the birth of our girls! I'll feel no less joy for him and his family when I watch them do the same. Unless you have gone through this process or know of people who have...you really have no idea how much of a roller coaster ride it is!

So, now that everything is off and in the mail, I'm sure I'll be here frequently :) TIA!!!
