Baby steps!!

[West 0]

Hello to everyone!!

My name is WEST and I'm a little nervous about how to start the process to bring my Father-In-Law. I've been married for close to a year now and offered myself to make anything possible to meet him in person. He told me that all that I needed was to invite him to this country. I'm really not sure how to start this process and how long will it take. I'm a US citizen and my wife has a TPS permit. Will that complicate things for the process? Should I work on her status first? I have all this questions and more. Can please someone help me on this one!!

Why do you think that you can petition anything for your FIL? There is no category for that. Your wife may petition if she becomes a US citizen.

Your FIL can apply for a tourist visa.

You can go to Honduras.

Does your wife have a travel document from USCIS? Any idea where your wife's TPS process is? Are you going to file based on your marriage? Nevermind me, I just always have lots of questions.
