No.Only your wife can petition for her family after she becomes a USC.
Re: petitioning for wifes relatives, parents, brother or sister
No. You cannot apply for your wife's family as they are not your immediate relatives. Your wife can apply for naturalization and then apply for them. Brothers and sisters have an extremely long wait for a visa (approx 10 years)
If you wish to find out more about naturalization for your spouse, please contact me at 212-279-0424
