December will be 2 years since my wife and I filed for her adjustment of status, while she has her work and travel permit, the residency card ("green card") is still pending as we are waiting to be contacted to schedule the interview. Not sure why it's taking so long, especially that we're in Florida and it happens comparatively fast here. 

 

We recently found that her mom, the husband (not my wife's father) and half-sister are on their way to cross illegally into the US. We found out this morning that they're somewhere in Mexico after crossing from Guatemala. We are NOT giving aid of any sort, nor do they have our address, we're not interested in taking care of them when and if they arrive here. My wife is not on the best of terms with her mom, the husband and half-sister, and rarely speak. They're in communication with another sister of my wife, that's how we found out. 

 

Will they affect my wife's process? What can we do about it? My wife and I aren't supportive of illegal "immigration", as going through this process hasn't been cheap, quick or easy for either of us. My wife is worried that her mom, once in the US will say something to officials like "I have a daughter that lives in the Miami area."

 

I appreciate any good advice.

Not an issue for her, she is not responsible for their actions.

 

Joe invited them not her.

Same family as the aunt and uncle who are seeking tourist visas?  A lot of moving parts....You have a lot on your plate.  Good luck.

Her aunt is her mom's sister. My wife and her mom don't really have a relationship, the aunt and uncle raised her.
