I am Housemaker, Can I file F-130 for My sister?

[Utha 10]

Hi,

So can a USC whose job as housewife/housemaker file f-130/family alien visa for my sister?.  Thank you.

[Crazy Cat 41,814]

Of course you can. You can file the I-130 immediately.  You won't need a joint sponsor for about 15 or 20 years.

It scares me when i read uscis web stating that i should be able to support her financially here while I dont work, my husband is the breadwinner.

Maybe in 20 years you will be working?

File now..... Don't worry about what may or may not happen in the next 2 decades.  Besides, no one can guarantee how long siblings will be allowed to immigrate.

You can file without regard to sponsorship ability, because it will be TWENTY (20) YEARS before a visa number is available to your sister, and obviously your financial situation will be completely different then.

what is that mean that visa number will be available in 20 years? but she can come iASAP once they approve the petiton, right?

She has to wait for a visa number to become available and she will interview just like you did.

Nope.  She cannot come to the US to live via a sibling visa  until the visa is issued...in about 20 years.

N.O. . There is not adjust of status too, just for you to know. She cannot live in the US without an Immigration visa.

Do you have a Joint sponsor? Will your spouse be the one?
