Apply for In-Laws

[alyssa_parra 0]

This is JUST RESEARCH.... hopefully for now.

But, I have two sister-in-laws, one has four kids; the oldest is fourteen, the other sister has two kids; her oldest is -10, and a 70+ year old father-in-law.

And I would like to know what are the PROS and CONS of application requirements to bringing them to the USA??

MONEY, YEARS, SPONSOR, WHAT MORE...

Thank You VisaJourney.

You can't petition for your - in laws.

Only your Husband can petition for his siblings.

He has to be US Citizen to do so.

F4 visa priority date:

• F4: Brothers and Sisters of Adult U.S. Citizen
• http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/approved/checkdate.html

For country Mexico, the wait is at least 18 years.

For the father-in-law, your Husband has to be US citizen to petition for him:

Thank You. Yes, my husband would have to, but, I would be helping too.

Thank You, I will read these links youve shown me. I couldnt find them on the website.

Children will age out so we can ignore them.

Father would be in his mid 70's and either have medical issues or it would be reasonable to assume he will have soon. US not a good place to be if you have health issues.

Thats all true, and wouldnt hurt to try. The sisters arent able to provide for their father, etc. So, my husband and i pay his bills. Itll be all better to have him live with us.

I want all my in-laws to be able to have a better life (life, jobs, education, career). I dont want them to keep asking anyone for money. (I MEAN THAT IN THE NICEST WAY POSSIBLE)

Uprooting someone of that age is not usually a good idea and your dollar travels further in Mexico.

Also, would trying to green cards for in-laws be a good choice? Or some type of visa word better?

When your husband gets his citizenship he can apply for the father, it would take about a year for him to get a visa. The father will never get social security and would have to pay a high premium for medical coverage ( think between 500 and 1500 a month depending on preexisting health ) Medicare is tied to having social security credits which the father won't have.

For a sibling petition you are looking at about 18 years waiting, So the siblings will be quite old and their children grown. For the father to petition his married children he would have to be a citizen (5 years ) and then petition the children which is over 20 years wait after filing so that is a longer path.

Thank You Nigeria.

Yes, we know Mexico is cheaper.

Also, I only want to give my sister-in-laws an opportunity to provide for their kids. Are there type of visas for this?

You know, its all about chances.

Immigration is divided principally into Family, Investment and Work.

Lets assume Investment is out, so that leaves Work, what are their qualifications/professions?

Non Immigrant there is the F1 Student Visa if they want the children to attend school here.

This is exactly why I am researching with you visa-geniuses.

This is the main reason my in-laws need a chance to get a career and get a job to build up to that; a steady job. Not one, like here, where they get paid under $100 a week. And with their children I want them to study for a career.

I am new to this immigration-visa-process. And this plaEce is the fastest way to get info....

The have no profession, no career, no good paying jobs, etc. Everyone needs a chance to provide for their family. Even If that means having to apply for a visa.

The class for siblings of a USC is F4 , and Mexico is already an impacted country so the wait is very apt to get longer in the coming years. This means there is little chance for any current children of the siblings to come directly. If you have the means look at helping the siblings/children get a STEM education ( Science Technology Engineering Medicine) Bi lingual people with advanced training in these areas have little trouble getting visas to the US.

Family you know about. One big advantage that Mexicans have is access to the TN Visa, like Canadians. Now obviously education is key and I agree with NoB that the STEM areas should be the one to focus on.

But and there is always a but, just focussing on what might help to emigrate should not be THE priority, if it coincides and works out all is good.

Yes, Thank You Nigeria.

IF it comes to that; I am willing to pay and help my in-laws. I want to try and I do not in-laws kids have to work for $100 or less a week for their entire lives.

Only the future can tell, but for now its a waiting game.

Boiler, Thank You.

But, yeah, even if that means that they do not need to immigrate and a different visa helps; so be it.
