Best method to bring parents of US citizens to USA

[j86schroeder 0]

Which is the best way to bring my spouse's parents to the USA so they can start working as soon as possible and work towards a US Citizenship?

 

Should they come on tourist visa to the USA and we start the paperwork to adjust their status? Or they stay in Honduras, and we start the paperwork here in the USA?

This is not legal.

This is what to do.

  Coming on a tourist visa with the intent of not leaving is visa fraud

As others said, get the thought doing AOS out of your head. That's not a legal option.

 

Start the process for the visa. See the guides on this site for a starting point.

So we have to submit a 130 form for each parent? Father and mother?

And file a separate 485 form and 864 form? so a total of six forms?

Each intending immigrant of a USC requires there own i130

Haven't you already been through all of this with your spouse?

nope,

 

just one i130 for each of them, no i485 since they will go through consular processing

Yes, one I-130 for each immediate relative being petitioned.

No I-485 since AOS is not a legal path for them.

An I-864 will be provided after I-130 approval - when the case is at NVC.

Just to confirm -- your spouse needs to be the petitioner, since they are hIs/her parents.   And, your spouse is now a US citizen, right?  Only US citizens can petition for their parents.
