I’m sorry to hear about your Mum. Which country are your wife and your Dad in? It may make more sense to continue with your wife’s process first, as she can then work when she gets to the US to contribute financially (that’s assuming your Dad is retirement age of course).

 

Another thing to factor in is insurance for both of them, it’ll be very expensive for your Dad so possibly another reason for you to wait to bring him over. You can pause his process at the NVC stage indefinitely.

 

Good luck.

As money is tight I was also thing Wife first, well that makes more sense anyway.

 

Looks like it is India.

He is in good health can work some kind of job .

 

OK, just make sure he can get health insurance until he can find work and his employment insurance kicks in. 

 

Good luck.
