Is it she a nurse or something? If you need just a família support for this period , immigration visa is not for this.

 

Even if she was applying for any other visa (not tourist) Will not take less than 1 or 2 years.

 

Sorry for that and I hope you get better soon.

She's not a nurse. I will need help to grab this and that  after the surgery. I dont need her to immigrate, i just want her to visit when i need her since tourist visa always fail, i just think F130 might work but i was wrong i think.

Perhaps you can have the surgery in Indonesia. If so, your sister can take care of you there while you recover.

why she won't get tourist visa ever? because she has sibling here?

Because she clearly wants to immigrate.   Consular officers are required to assess immigrant intent for tourist visa applicants.

I can not use my insurance over there.

It's hard to proof that she only wants to visit, I think.

Definitely.   She would need strong ties to home (reasons to return), like anyone wanting a tourist visa.   Unfortunately, when people overstay, it makes it harder for others from the same country to get visas.

Skilled Nursing care is covered by some health insurance or private agencies. 

I had 7 surgeries in the course of the last 4 years and I've had nurses come to my home regularly. This is the way to go.

I am sorry about that. Can't imagine with one surgery. Left alone 7. Hope you get well soon.

He works and I will need somebody to be by myside 24 hrs/day for sometimes  if i go through the surgery. 

 

So you want someone to travel to the US to be by your side 24 hours a day? I would imagine that the person would want to get compensated for all that time. 

You need to get a home health aid. They are paid to do such thing.

The only way your sister could possibly enter the US quicker is if she has a certain skill that not many people have and that particular skill is what is needed to help you. 

The surgeries that you need, can they be done by competent doctors in Indonesia? I am sure that it would be much cheaper. If so, ask your insurance company if if there is any reimbursement if the surgeries are done in a foreign country.

Has she ever been abroad? Is she employed? Own property? Somehow my 20something year old in-laws got tourist visas even though they were unemployed students at the time. I think one reason is they had a history of traveling outside Indonesia. And I think Surabaya is a little less "strict" than Jakarta, but if your sister lives closer to Jakarta, I wouldn't recommend trying the consulate in Surabaya (it would be obvious she was "consulate shopping").
