Hello! I have some questions and in need of answers. Please help!

So, me and my other 3 siblings were under my mom's fiance visa last 2010. My oldest sister, however, turned 21 (Nov. 2009) before we got our visas approved (May 2010). She did all her physical exam and biometrics with us and the only problem was that she turned 21. Since she was already above the age limit, she wasn't able to come with us. Now, my question is, is there anything we can do to have her come here other than petitioning her (which we already did, but was told that it would take 10+ years)? Does the immigration office still have her papers even after 5 years? And if they do, would it help to get a lawyer to do something about it?

Thanks!

hi

why didn't your mom file for her immediately when she got here?

as long as your sister is unmarried, your mom could have filed for her, and already 5 years would have passed

depending on the country you are from, for some countries, the wait is over 7 years

hi

sorry, I read too quickly, your mom filed for her, right?

the other petition doesn't matter, there is nothing anyone can do but wait, no lawyer can do anything to speed up the process

immigration keeps everything, no matter how much time passes

Hi, thanks for replying! We only found out recently that permanent residents can also petition so we only filed our petition recently as well.

I am assuming your sister is 26 or 27 now. You can file for F2b but it will take 8 years. If your mother is USC then she can file for her but wait time is 10 to 12 years. For F2a category, Your sister needed to be under 21 to be eligible at the time your mom got green card. It was not possible so it doesn't matter how you look at it she could not have made it. CSPA can not be applied in any way possible.

What country are you from.

She could look at other visa categories, work visa? US Boyfriend?

Yes they keep a file of everyone who has filed for a visa application. However, your sister's past K2 application has nothing to do with your mom's petition for her. A lawyer cannot do anything to speed up the process. Your sister will wait in line like everyone else. Seems to me that you're from the Philippines? If yes, the wait is 10+ years and she has to remain single the entire time.

She can try to find an employer who can file a work visa for her or the usual and fastest route thru a US citizen boyfriend.

Good luck!

Boyfriends/girlfriends are a visa category now? :)
