If you are a US citizen, you can file an I-130 for your sibling.  The process will take 10-15 years.  Good luck. The other options include a work visa or diversity lottery.

I agree, if you are a USC, then you can file the I130 for an eventual F4 visa in around 15 years.  If you are not a USC, then her options are limited.

For almost all of them she would need a sponsor. Does she have a degree?

Um, I am thinking you probably couldn’t (I’m guessing you didn’t follow the link I gave you fully) but happy to be proven wrong. What type of business do you run? Other than seasonal short term workers, most sponsored work visas need the person to have a degree, and for the business to show they cannot find a local worker to do the job. (The conditions are more onerous to fulfill when a family member is involved, by the way.) Does your business retain an immigration lawyer to help with the visa sponsorship process?

No to both. I can’t seriously believe that there is a shortage of people to work in landscaping businesses in the US and even if there were, and he could prove it, it would almost certainly fall under short term seasonal work visas. Please read the link I gave you to understand what they require for work visas.

No.  Workers for landscaping companies are widely available in the US.

That is not accurate.  There are strict education/skill requirements. Read  @SusieQQQ's comments.

That is not how that works.  You need to do your research.

 

Realistically, without a degree and skills that are in high demand, there is no path for a work visa for her.
