Yes he will file I-130 for my sister maybe next week . So while waiting for USCIS approval, she can go here in US by applying K-4 Visa? 

No, she can't. They don't issue K3 or K4 visas any more.

So we have to wait for her approval ? we are still waiting for my mom's interview and if my sister got her approval, will go along with my mom's case? I had read lately that they got a approval from USCIS only 2 days .

Of course she has to wait. Slow down mother's interview until sister's case catches up. What was the thinking anyways - you just remembered the sister?

I dont think if we slow down my mom's interview because we have trouble with financial . My dad thought that since he is US citizen and if he file a I-130 for his spouse ( which is my mom), will get along with her children even he do not file a I-130 separately. But we contacted NVC and they said we have to file I-130 for my sister. That's why we looking for a way to get my sister ASAP or get along with my mom who still waiting for her interview letter/date

Just checking -- how old is your sister?

 

Don't pin your hopes on 2-day approval at USCIS.  That case is an extreme outlier.

Well USC father filing I-130 will freeze her age so no problems there. All he has to do is file the papers.

K-4 is a dependent of a K-3 visa.

K-3 visas are rarely issued any more (5 total last year), and you are past the step where it would even be remotely possible (the I-129F needs to be approved and sent to NVC before the I-130...and the I-130 is already at NVC here).

And even if it was possible, still needs an i130 for the child, which is lacking in this situation still.
