hi guys,

I am a US Citizen and trying to bring my sister here...5 years ago my wife and I had a baby and my sister wanted to come here and see our baby...she applied for a tourist visa and got rejected 3 times in the last 5 years...their reason was that I came here on a student visa and married and got my citizenship...they said what if she does the same thing...she has not tired anymore after 2008...

she has no intention on staying here just to visit...she is a doctor in Istanbul,Turkey and has ties there...she even got a visa for UK. she has been to London and some other parts of Europe...and went back to Turkey after each trip this year..

last week my nice applied for a work and travel visa and was approved...now I am loosing my mind...

What to do, what to do......?

any advice would be appreciated...

karma...

you can file for your sister, but unfortunatly, petition for siblings take more than 10 years to process.

you can start by filing the i130 if she wants to come.

But, if she doesn't want to come to live here, then the only thing she can try to do is apply for a tourist visa again.

My advice would be to take a family vacation in Turkey. I'm sure you would like to see your old country again, your wife would be able to see it, and so would your child. Sounds like a great plan to me.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
