My mom had her first marriage ; my step sister was born in 1976.  Then my mom remarried to my dad and I was born . My parents were married for 9 years . My sister was step daughter of my dad for the 9 years, so from since she was 6 to 16.

My dad remarried his current wife in 1996 and they moved here in US. I moved to US in 2003 and my mom is coming here soon as permanent resident.

My sister is going to be 36 and she has 3 years old daughter, she is unmarried.

My dad is US citizen and he would like to petition for my step sister and her daughter as her step dad.

no, he isn't her stepdad anymore, he divorced your mother, there needs to be a marriage certificate, he isn't married to your mother currently. it would be different if he way her biological father, he could petition for her anytime, if he was on her birth certificate.

Thank you in advance for any help.

hi! well first of all she is not your step sister, she is your half sister... yo share the same mom. Your dad CANT file a petition for her cause he is not married to your mom anymore and he is not her father UNLESS he adopted her legally when your parents were married years ago. Maybe when your mom become in a US citizen she can file for her. If you share the same mother (half sister) you can file for her but takes years.

FYI step sister/brother (your step dad or step mom's son or daughter) half sister/brother (is when you share the same mom OR the same dad with a sibling) IT'S really important to have this concept clear so people can help you

He cannot file for her. He is not her step father. He is not married to her mother. He is married to another woman. There is no family relationship between him and your half sister.

Your mom can petition your half-sister as a permanent resident as long as your sister remains unmarried. Once she gets married, she no longer qualifies for F2B(Unmarried Sons and Daughters (21 years of age or older) of Permanent Residents). Currently, cases with priority date of 15SEP04 and earlier are being processed. So, she'll have to wait approximately 8 years.
