Exactly! My wife US Citizen petition them with her sister (they needed help and that was our way to help them bring them over to live with us), after the process started we found out that my sister in law won't be able to be in the same process. We though since she was only 11 and they live/depend or my in laws it will be logical or her to qualify, but that wasn't the case.

So it wasn't really a hole but a combination of not doing research + deciding to immigrate even though their child couldn't as well.

Yes.

Then there were at least two legal options.

1) one parent moves and the other waits with her while the parent that has a green card petitions both the other spouse and her at the same time, both F2A, so that they move together when they can get visas

2) if they don’t want to split the family, the parents get re-entry permits after getting their green cards and starting a petition for her, and wait with her in the home country for her visa.

 

And yes, expect people to judge. People here know very well that doing immigration the right way is not always the easiest way. Her tourist visa overstay adds to the statistics for the home country and makes it harder for others to get.

Lesson learned,  now what do you guys suggest that we should do? Do you think that they can deny the visa to her because of this?

As long as she is a qualifying relative, has appropriate financial support and is not subject to a ban, there is no reason for denial. She is a minor, she is not judged at fault for anything immigration wise. Who is going to accompany her to her interview? One of her parents presumably?

I stand by what I said.  "Stuff happens" directly because of choices you make.  The in-laws' unfortunate decision to allow their minor child to overstay a visitor visa just adds to the overstay statistics for their country, making it harder for others from that country to get a B visa.

Also don’t claim you didn’t know any of this. You knew well in advance, as is clear from the first post in this thread

Double wow.

 

Perhaps time to close this thread?

*** Closed for review as OP has received appropriate advice both now and 2 years ago. 

*** UPDATE: Thread shall remain closed. VisaJourney is not for helping people circumvent legal immigration process. The OP was advised about the proper way to go about filing for family and chose to disregard said advice. Hence reference of the phrase, "You reap what you sow."

 

Do not create another thread as a continuation of this one.
