[tsokonut 0]

hi

just have a question regarding my mom- in- law's case status. So she's got a sister here who is USC, the rest of the sibling where petition way back 1992/ or she applied to petition them. From then an all her 3 sisters were already married with kids. HOw does this work? and how long before she could actually have them here in the states. Thanks so much.. just wondering

and also there is form (I forgot what its called) that they say if ever they visited here and overstayed is okay because there petition being process for them its just the visa numbers are still not available.. can someone clarify this.. thanks

it's kinda confusing. so your mother in law or one of her sisters filed for the others, right. What country are they from?

they cannot come and overstay their tourist visa. siblings aren't elegible to adjust in country.

if their children are over 21 probably they won't be able to come with their parents.

apology for the confusing question.. i'll make it simpler... my mother in law is petition by her USC sister its been filed 1992. how long does this process take before she could actually be here in the US? (4 siblings - 1 is USC)

Based on the June Visa Bulletin ( http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4879.html ) the priority date for USC siblings from PI is April 1988. Depending on the date of the petition has she's got 4 more years +/- to wait.

So one Sister who is a US Citizen petitioned the other 4.

They are processing application from 1988

So 4 years is a good a guess as any.

Their children are unlikely to qualify, but it depends on their ages etc. CSPA may apply, it is a complicated subject.

If she is sponsoring 4 plus spouses plus children she needs to bear in mind the Affidavit of Support requirements.

Depending how old they are there is also Medical Insurance as an issue.
