Hi All,

I am now a USC after having gone through the whole process with my USC Husband. Yeah!!!

I would like to petition for my 21 year old sister who already has a Artist Visa. She lives in the States legally already.

My question are:

1: Can i petition for her while she is living legally here in the US?

2: can i file the I-130/I485 together as i did or must i file the I-130 first and then once that is approved file the AOS?

3: Will she be eligible for the Work Permit and Travel Documentation that is filed with the AOS?

Thank you all so much, this site has been a tremendous help through my experience.

Yes

1-130 and then wait for a visa number

3: Will she be eligible for the Work Permit and Travel Documentation that is filed with the AOS?

Unlikely that would be a scenario, she would somehow need to stay in status that long.

The wait for a visa number for a sibling is about 10 years. So if she is still in the US on a valid visa then she can AOS in the US. Overstays are NOT forgiven for siblings.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
