I will guess that you are seeking to sponsor your sister to immigrate to the US.

Under current legislation the only logical option would be to sponsor her once you have US Citizenship.

Under any new legislation, all a guess currently. But Guest Worker Visa would seem the best bet.

Neither will happen anytime soon.

My husband is american and he is the one who enrol her to school so she can work here, the problem is we didnt know what to file, if she needs to file a working visa or what? we have no clue where to start.

Your husband cannot get your sister a visa. First you need to become a citizen. Then you can sponsor her. A student visa doesn't generally allow the visa holder to work.

Visa Types for Immigrants

In general, in order to be eligible to apply for an immigrant visa, a foreign citizen must be sponsored by a U.S. citizen relative.

If you want to become a lawful permanent resident based on the fact that you have a relative who is a citizen of the United States or is a lawful permanent resident, your relative in the U.S. will need to sponsor you and prove he/she has enough income or assets to support you, the intending immigrant(s) when in the United States.

FAMILY-SPONSORED PREFERENCES

Fourth : Brothers and Sisters of Adult Citizens: 65,000, plus any numbers not required by first three preferences.

Currently processing 4th preference family-sponsored visas for the Phillipines from March, 1985. That means people who have approved petitions from March 1985 - 22 years ago - are now having their visas processed. Best to search for another option.

Another option will be H1 visa.

If I remember correctly, H-1B requires 4 year college degree. but there is another type of H1 visa you can use for house worker.

But since H1 including H-1B is so popular, you may need to prepare for all paperworks and file it on next year around October 1, which start new government fiscal year.

This year quota for H1 is already filled up.

Then she can go to school with H1 visa.

Otherwise, she needs F1 visa to get into school, but she needs to prove financial support along with strong tie to home country, that she will not be stay in U.S. after completing her study. Since she has you and your husband in U.S., it's going to be difficult to get F1.

So best bet will be H1 visa path, I think.
