I guess you never can tell how things will go.... I think their strategy is pretty realistic and they are coming here with quite a bit of money to invest and live off... they already bought their house.. I guess it's all a matter of how you manage your money. We shall see.

I'm not sure why it takes so long but they list relatives in order of priority
spouse/child
parents
sibling
We were really disappointed to find out the wait was so long. However, my husbands parents would like to become citizens in 5 years, then they can sponsor her.

Or do INS have to know they have so much money to support themselves.
