Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / August 2006

We filed our I-751 through Vermont in January 2006, then received an

I am about to get married to a US citizen in a months time and have

I90 small paper but I am not sure.

Marriage Visa process in terms of speed (relatively speaking!)?
Is the difference significant, or a gamble?
I have citizenship, and she is Thai, if this is relevant.

Which forms should I fill if I would like my mother to come to visit me
and my wife in the USA? Some kind of tourist visa? She will not be
working here, but I would like her to stay couple months with us. What
should she do?
