Q: My wife to support her mother to come to live to America without my permission is it legal?
Rehim Babaoglu's answer
I am assuming your wife petitioned for her mother to come to live in the USA. An I-864 affidavit of support was required to be furnished, which is a contract with the US government that she would be financially responsible if mother ever took welfare or benefits. If you signed the I-864 you would also be responsible. If so, your mother-in-law could sue you and your wife for support. You cannot sue your mother-in-law.

Q: I751 is pending for 5 years. Should I apply for my citizenship? Or what to do?
Rehim Babaoglu's answer
First, hire an immigration lawyer to advise and represent you. Next, an inquiry has to be made concerning the status of the I-751. ( I suspect it was granted or denied & you never received the notice.) Third, yes you can file an N-400 petition, but the I-751 has to be approved before your N-400 can be. Get a lawyer.

Q: What's the longest student visa someone can get in the United States? How many times can it get renewed?
Rehim Babaoglu's answer
F-1 student visas are designated "D/S" for the duration of status of that educational institution's program. So, if someone is in a four year program, it's good for that period of time. Same with associate's degree - 2 years. F-1 visas can be extended for additional year(s) of schooling , or for grad school.
