No way to get her here any Sooner because of her DISABILITY.

Her disability won't make things faster- it will still be around 23 years if you file or 11 years if your mom files. In fact the disability will complicate things, as the sponsor will need to prove they can support the disabled sister, who is unlikely to ever work or get her own health insurance.

Thanks for the reply is that enough for avidafit support.

and then my Auntie U.S citizen wants her to provide the affidavit support to my sister once my mom file her. IS THAT OK or I supposed to because I petition my Mother to become LPR.

It is ok for your aunt to co-sponsor, or any other US citizen or greencard holder residing in the USA.

What I am saying is the CO at interview may want to see more than the usual 125% of poverty line, because your sister will never be able to support herself, and may need medical treatment- very expensive in the USA. They may want to see proof of health insurance, for example.

It will be incredibly hard for your sister to immigrate to the US.

Her disability is not going to get her to the US faster. Her disability will make it harder for her to immigrate to the US rather than easier.

Your Auntie is wrong. Disability does not allow for a faster path to immigration. The US is not interested in paying or caring for a disabled Philippine citizen. Why allow this person into the US to care for when the US has so many US citizens it needs to care for?

The Affidavit of Support (I-864) are not needed until your sister interviews at the US Embassy when a visa becomes available to her. If your mom petitions, then it is 11-12 years. If you petition, then it is 22-23 years. If the petitioner dies during the wait time, then you may have to start all over.

The biggest challenge to immigrating to the US is your sister's disability. Because of her condition, she is unlikely to ever work or be able to support herself. She will need either family or the government to pay for her needs. The US government will not pay for her needs - an LPR (green card holder) is not eligible for Social Security or Medicare if she never pays into it and is ineligible for Medicare for 5 years. If she cannot provide proof that she has medical insurance or can support herself, she will likely be considered a potential "public charge" and will not get a visa.
