Personally I always think that it's best for the mother to do this within a year or so of arriving here herself.
we couldnt do it within a year due to financial reasons,although we are pretty much skint now,but its never going to be an ideal time to do it,but in the long run it will be better,because she sends lots of money now,money she wouldnt send if they were here
