My sister used to be a greencard holder, well she still has it, but expired. and she never went back to US. more than 10 years now.. so it means she abandoned her LPR.. she was not married then.. now she wants to come to US.. she's not qualified for returning resident visa.. Btw, she's married now (well.. separated now..lol) . do we again file an I-130 for her? but her category would be under "Married over 21".. so her waiting time would take years?

It will take 23 years for a USC to petition a sister from the Philipines.

It takes 21 years for a USC to petition for a married daughter from the Philipines.
