How can I bring my mother to the US while I am only a permanent resident?
I am a US Lawful Permanent Resident and I am here with my wife and kids and I
want to bring my mother to the US too. I know I am no eligible to bring parents
to the US with my current status. Please advise on any other possible ways.
Thanks,

You can petition for your parents once you are a US citizen. Until then, your mother can enter the US only if she is able to obtain a visa in her own right, whether it is through employment, to study in the US, or simply as a tourist/visitor.
