Bringing sister to live in USA

[paothao 0]

I want to petition or file form I-130 to bring my sister and her minor children who is now at her early 50 to live in the USA permanently. Her husband was USA soldier and killed during the war, remarried, and now divorced. I came to USA as refugee in early 1976 and US citizens, married and have good job. All her brothers, sisters were in USA.

Does anyone has similar situation and able to get the family to live in USA permanently? I know some family is able to petition for her daughter and children to live permanently in USA but that is for father to daughter relationship. My case would be brother to sister. My mom is in her 80 so wouldn't qualify.

Thanks

as a USC you can file for her, but the waiting time until she can come is around 12 years, it will over 10 years and by that time her children might not qualify if they are over 21.

you can file a petition (the sooner the better) but the wait time will be 10+ years before the priority date is current.

Is her mother a USC? I dont see why she wouldn't qualify to file for her even if she is in her 80's. Maybe more experienced members can comment on that part.

Disregard what I said above. I just realised why her filing for her would not make any sense

If you are a US citizen, you can file for your sister. After about 12 years, your sister can apply for an immigration visa. If she has unmarried children at that time who have CSPA ages under 21, they can come. Any child with a CSPA age over 21 at the time your sister can apply for a visa are ineligible to come.

How old are her kids now?

Wow, 10-12 yrs? But thanks for your inputs!

The F4 category has the lowest annual allocation of visas subscribed to it, hence the long wait (since, imagine how many siblings of USCs are waiting to immigrate to the US around the world)
