Hi all,

Hope someone can answer some of my questions. Let say my wife become a US Citizen in July 2013. In July 2013, her mother visited her for 6 months. During her mother visited, can my wife or will it be possible, for her to file I-485 and at the same time file I-130? Or my wife had to file I-130 and mother had to go back to the country when visited reached 6 month time frame?

thx

are you asking that if your wife's Mom visits the month after your wife becomes a citizen can she file adjustment of status for her mom? The answer for you would be no. Traveling to the US with a visitor visa with the intent for your mother in law to adjust status and stay in the US is visa fraud and illegal. Since you just asked this question, it is clear that would be the intent. You wife can file the I130 while her Mom is in the country, but her mother must return to her home country for the interview.
