Expedited processing

[bobyrou 0]

I have a question if you please don't mind helping me with. My sister she is married to his husband which works for U.S. armed forces, being deployed frequently overseas for NATO operations. She is a U.S. citizen. Can my sister (same mother and father) apply for green card for me or citizenship under special provisions, expedited? Any advise is much appreciated, thanks very much!

No, she can not expedite a claim for you. Do you know if she is a USC yet, where is she located at now in the USA or out?

Hi, thanks for reply. Yes she is an U.S. citizen and naturalized citizen since couple of years ago. She is located in United States at the moment.

There will be nothing to expedite for many many years, until the visa number is current.

 

She should file asap to get you in line.

No. Your sister's husband job also have absolutely nothing to do with your immigration.  Common sense - him deploying have nothing to do with you.

 

In this circumstances,  soldiers are only allowed to expedite processing for their SPOUSES. Not their whole spouses families.

 

You will not get a green card for many, many years. Not sure why you think they could expedite you straight to the citizenship lol.

His job will have nothing to do with your immigration process...he married your sister, not you.

 

Unfortunately you have several years of waiting ahead of you

it takes 20....25 years (from certain countries) for a sibling sponsorship to be approved and granted.

thanks all for your answers.

If you are qualified, pursue a guest worker visa. This MAY lead to employer sponsorship IF there are no qualified and willing workers for the position you hold.

@bobyrou, the GC lottery is a slim option. It is currently open until November 6 at noon Washington D.C. time (EST): https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ You can enter the lottery as long as you're not a native of the following countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam. Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Taiwan are eligible. There are only 2 exceptions:

• Was your spouse born in a country whose natives are eligible? If yes, you can claim your spouse’s country of birth – provided that both you and your spouse are named on the selected entry, are found eligible and issued diversity visas, and enter the United States simultaneously.
• Were you born in a country whose natives are ineligible, but in which neither of your parents was born or legally resident at the time of your birth? If yes, you may claim the country of birth of one of your parents if it is a country whose natives are eligible for the DV-2020 program.
