My bride (now a U.S. citizen) wants to petition to bring her mom over from the Philippines.

Question, once a person is here under this scenario and gets a green card, how long is the wait before they can apply for U.S. citizenship?

I don't know. I thought naturalization took seven years.

I thought that under the current administration it was handed out the with welcome packet at the border?

Five years from the date of acquiring the green card.
