Hello guys!

I have a question. I am a Filipina and just got my citizenship here in the U.S last June this year. My husband is a U.S Citizen too. Is there any way that my husband and I can invite my sister to come here in the U.S for tourist visa? How many months that she can stay here. It would be nice if she can do the 6 months or so. I really want her to live here to become a permanent resident if she can but that's impossible if only tourist visa we can do for her.

Appreciate any answers, thanks!

She can apply for  tourist visa and get it on her own merits. There is no way to sponsor her for that visa, which is a common misconception. The current wait time to bring a brother or sister here from the Philippines is about 20 years. The easiest way for her to be a PR is through marriage.

nope

 

an invitation letter is irrelevant. she needs to show strong ties to her country and overcome the presumption that she will illegally stay in the country since she has family here

 

it will only state that you are inviting her to come and cover the costs, which they don't care because it doesn't guarantee that she will return to her country
