Petioning Parent soon after Naturalization

[garebear397 69]

Is there any issues with petioning a parent basically right after obtaining citizenship through naturalization? 

 

Basically we have a longer term plan to get my whole family and my wife's mother living in the US. Currently my wife is waiting for her IR1 visa, after she gets her green card we plan on applying for her citizenship after 3 years living in the US, and right after she gets her citizenship we plan on her petioning her mother (widow). 

 

Any potential issues doing everything back to back like that? On paper I don't see any issue...she will be a US citizen living in the US, we will have enough for the monetary sponsorship. But just wondering if anyone has any experience.

Perfect. Yeah I figured a large part of parent sponsorships are from naturalized citizens...since the child obviously didn't get citizenship from their parents. But didn't know if the speed or intention was frowned upon at all.

Plenty of people have had the paperwork ready to go as soon as they get naturalised.

We have sent petitions in for my wife’s mom and two of her sisters. Her mom will petition her minor brother once she gets here. It all just takes sooooo long.

Not at all. Petition away.
