Filing for Mother in law while in the US

[smushtaq 0]

Hi everyone,

I apologize if this information is already covered in another topic, I did search and didn't find what I was looking for. Anyways my mother in law is currently in the States on a visit visa. We want to file for her Green card while she is here. We've downloaded the forms from USCIS and had a few questions for the people who've gone through this process before.

The forms we're filling out initially are the I-485 & I-130, we intend to file them concurrently.

1. First question, on the I-485, Section 2. Which category do you choose for parent, Other?
2. Does my mother in law need a police report and a medical exam done in advance of the filing?

Thank you,

shahab

Can't file for mother in law. You can file for a mother (so her child can file) but needs to be US citizen to do so.

Does she plan to return home and wait the results there? I may be wrong or misinterpretting (or both lol) but I believe what you are trying to do is illegal. I'll see if I can find a post to help you.
