Sister of USC - Please help

[sheela 0]

Friends -

A sister of a USC with a child got into the US somehow (not in proper way) claimed asylum and the application is under consideration . USC petitioned for this sister 2 years ago (under F4 sibling of USC). Can she (the beneficiary of F4) adjust or try to adjust her status being a sister of USC ? Is there any way she can get any type of legal status ?

Thanks in advance!

She has a long wait for a visa to become available for her under a sibling petition. Then she would have to be in the country legally and in status to adjust.

The sibling petition takes 12 to 23 years depending on the country the sister is from. You are only able to adjust status in country if you have valid status to adjust from

I informed them with same answer . They told me If they return home and try to come back which is their intention, they will be tortured .

In that case, I would stick to the asylum petition.

Sounds like Asylum is her best option. If it is denied, try a different country rather than going home.
