The children will have aged out.

I am not an immigration expert but looks hopeless unless your sister or her husband will do something themselves for their family.

I have 3 aunts (NJ & CA/ sister of my father) in the mainland US who all came in the US on their own. They build family there so I got a lot of cousins from those 2/3 aunts that I don't personally know. Some of my uncles (cousin of my father) are in Guam then moved to TX. Out of these relatives, I just have one cousin who was successfully brought in for petition (father-daughter) most have lost interest and got married. One of my cousins (daughter of my aunt in NJ) became a doctor but reverted into being a nurse to come in the US to see her mother. So she actually came there on her own and eventually brought her husband with her.

So what am I saying here is that, you petition your sister first wait 23yrs, then she has to wait to be a USC (3-5yrs??) so she can petition her husband (1yr?) then another years to petition the kids.

My answers are just opinion because going in the US runs in my family, I've seen it all.

Well, sort of. The OP can petition for her sister. Currently, it will take about 23 years before her priority date will be current. The rest of your assumptions are incorrect. Her sister's husband will be eligible for a derivative visa, and will be able to apply for a visa at the same time her sister does. Likewise, any children who are still under 21 and unmarried will be eligible for derivative visas.

After her sister comes to the US then her sister will be eligible to petition for any unmarried adult children. She doesn't have to wait until she becomes a US citizen unless she's going to petition for married children and their families.

Are the kids going to make it? 8 yrs old and 15 yrs old and 17 yrs old?

Not with their parents.

Do not forget the cost of supporting parents who will most likely never get a job in the US, health insurance is expensive for people in their sixties.

Practically zero chance for the 15 and 17 year old. However, if the US economy stays stagnant for a while, which is what a lot of economists are predicting, then it's possible for F4's from the Philippines to shed 10 years before the 8 year old has aged out. A lot of people change their minds about migrating when it looks like their lives won't be any better after they get here. When visa numbers don't get used then the cutoff dates advance faster.

In any case, she won't need to petition for her husband because he'll be eligible for a derivative visa, and she can petition for her kids as an LPR if they aren't married.
