NO, you cannot petition for a father-in-law. Your spouse can petition for her father once she is a US citizen.

No, you cannot petition for your father in law. But if your wife is a US citizen she may file petition for her father. If your wife is presently a Legal resident alien, then, it is wise for her to file for US citizenship as soon as she is eligible to do so. Once she becomes a US citizen, she may then file petition for her father.

You can petition for your father-in-law if he married your mother while you were still under 18 years of age. You have to be at least 21 years of age to petition for a parent.
