Any reason they have not visited so far, obviously you have been here for a while.

You said your Mother would sponsor her when she comes here.

yes I have been here for a while they was denied for a tourist visa.

Simply I am trying to get them here. I want to do like anyone else and be smart about my decision.
I would like to do more than anyone else. I miss them.

No one renewed a F3 visa, renewed the tourist visa. Visited a few times after my father filed F3, we had no problems with that. We immigrated after we won the DV lottery. I am naturalized already. I would still be waiting for my F3 visa. 

I got it now.

The forms does not interfere for each other. Do you think the embassy will even know that they are waiting for the I-130 form.

It might be obvious for the embassy that they will come with a tourist visa and stay here.

Do you know what I mean?
I mean, are they still able to come with a tourist visa even when they have pending I-130.

Why they even denied for the tourist visa? It is sad that I can not get my family here even for a visit.

Has anything changed so they would now qualify to visit?

yes, my sister get engaged.

What is better applying together for a tourist visa or for everyone individually?

For visits, it might be easier for you to go there.

That is why strong ties to her current country is important. And as already mentioned, if your sister overstays tourist visa there is no path to Green Card because siblings don't meet the INA's limited definition of "Immediate Relative." https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-3

An alien is barred from adjustment of status if the alien is in an unlawful immigration status on the date of filing the adjustment application.

 

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-4

Any adjustment applicant is ineligible to adjust status under INA 245(a) if, other than through no fault of his or her own or for technical reasons, ^[1] he or she has ever:

• Failed to continuously maintain a lawful status since entry into the United States; ^[2] or

• Violated the terms of his or her nonimmigrant status. ^[3]

There is a way. She may be able to file for asylum.

Well if they were denied already, what has changed in their situation? Unlikely they will be granted without a significant change.

Unfortunately that is a negative consequence of immigration...leaving family behind. It’s tough, we can all sympathize...

If they even sniff she would use a tourist visa as a pretext to apply for asylum there is no way they’d give it to her. And don’t fool yourself, the asylum process is long (can be years), arduous, stressful, and with no guarantee of success.

Remember- Entering the US via a non-immigrant route with the intent to stay and adjust status is fraud.

{Partial moderator hat on}... slow down here! You are starting to venture off into frivolous activities in an effort to by-pass immigration policies. 

 

Don't use a visitor visa just so she can get here sooner. Don't make frivolous claims just so your sister can claim asylum because it takes too long for her to get here. There are desperate people who are suffering in the world whose lives are in danger whom legitimately needs asylum. 

 

You need to accept the fact that your sister will not be here for many years. It is a realization that is part of life. It does not help your nor your family to try to find a back door way of doing things. Do it the proper way. If she obtains a B2 visa, she can only visit for short periods of time. She cannot use a visitor visa to try and remain here while your sibling case is being processed.

You are sounding really desperate.  

This is a legal path for your sister to immigrate through you as a sibling.

If you want to take chances by having your sister misuse a visitor visa to claim asylum, you may not like the consequences.

I agree.
