Hi everyone!

I came to the U.S. from K-1. Still married with the petitioner and will file for Citizenship next month. Im planning to petition my parents once I become a Citizen. I have a sister who also came here from K-1, still married with the petitioner for 8 years but never filed for AOS :bonk: . Im wondering, how would that affect my petition to my parents? Or what should I do? I would be so devastated to petition my parents only to find out that they will get denied because sister is out of status. Help pls! Thanks!

hi,

what your sister did has no effect on your parents, they aren't responsible for her actions.

Your sister has nothing to do with the petitions that you file for your parents.

The only time that your sister will come up is when your parents list her as their child. That's only informational. It has no bearing on the cases for your parents.
