My wife is a Filipina and wants to bring her 25 year old unmrried daughter here to the states. If I read the visa bullitin correctly if my wife who is a LPR sponsored her it could take up to 11 years for her daughter to get a visa number. Can I as a U.S citizen apply for her and the process move somewhat faster? Also, is it possible to get my wife's daughter a visitors visa and then apply while she is in the states?

Thank you,

Michael

If the daughter was over 18 when you married the mom you can't do a thing. No she can't use a visitors visa to come to the US and stay that is called visa fraud. ( And doesn't spend the availability of a visa ) A visitors visa would only work for short visits. Yes the wait is long for adult children.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

As she is not married and is petition for by lpr parent she can't get married until parent becomes a citizen which also add years to the petition. You can read the visa bulletin as well as the i130 instructions.
