Legal Question in Immigration Law in Louisiana

Re: Her Family

Your wife can only petition for her mother when she becomes a citizen. She is eligible to apply for citizenship in 2 years and 9 months from the date she became a lawful permanent resident. After obtaining citizenship, she can petition for her mother and that is pretty quick provided all the paperwork and procedure goes as it is supposed to. The only thing her mom can do at this point is try to obtain a visitor's visa, but that is difficult to obtain. How patient are you?
