Bringing wife's sister to America, for a visit

Ok, let's say I wait until my wife has her citizenship settled.  My sister in law has to wait until her mother dies and she might hang on for another year or two anyway.  Are they going to say "Hey, his wife is a Citizen so his sister will overstay"?   The reality is she'll some here for 3 months, that's it.  I did all of our immigration paperwork and adoption paperwork all by myself.  I've heard a slew of negative Nancy Jr. sleuth detectives telling me how I couldn't do this or that.  I have never cared what any of the bureaucrats think or how suspicious they are.   I got it all done.   My prediction is we'll end up having her here for a few months when we decide to move on this.   

 

Immigration is so incompetently managed that it's a joke.  That's why we have illegal immigrants galore sucking from the system.  Stopping a girl from visiting her sister can't be that much of a priority when you can't  even enforce your own border.

 

LOL.   So if you know what you’re doing and do not need anyone’s feedback, I find it strange that you would be here asking.   Carry on.

Thank you.

Just tell the guy to tell his sister in law and apply and see what happens! And leave it at that. That’s the only way we would know it she gets it or not

We did, but he kept on bringing his wife’s status. And unfortunately it seems to be a common belief that when you become a citizen you can sponsor someone on a tourist visa. Not the first time I see this wrong assumption. He was told he is wrong, but yet he keeps on pushing the idea that her wife’s citizenship status has anything to do with it.

I honestly have to wonder if you are challenged in the area of reading comprehension.  My preference to wait until other circumstances are settled is just that, my preference.  I'm just stating it, not saying it's a requirement at all.   And it STILL my preference.   Continue with your Negative Nancy groupthink if you like!

Your preference? It is up to her what she does.

Let me see.  Since I'm paying for everything,  it is actually up to me as far as the exact timing.   If someone were giving me an all expense paid trip,  I'd have no problem with that.  In the meantime, if she chooses to come of her own accord and can do the paperwork, get her visa, etc.  She can do that.  I certainly won't stop her :).  It's all a non issue until her mother passes.  She's not going anywhere.  That could take a couple more years.  My wife will meet the requirement in about 16 months, I think.  So it's probably a moot point, because we are applying on the first possible day.  

 

What is stranger is why this seems to stick in the craw of many here?  Besides, as you've all told me... the alarms and bells and whistles will go off and the CIA will be on high alert when we file for the Visa!  I'm sure they'll call the Pentagon!  So since we don't have a chance for it anyway, why would it matter what my timing preference is?

Your wife will meet what requirements in 16 months?

 

I think you are still confused.

Exactly what requirements?

Who's applying for what after when?
