If they even sniff she would use a tourist visa as a pretext to apply for asylum there is no way they’d give it to her. And don’t fool yourself, the asylum process is long (can be years), arduous, stressful, and with no guarantee of success. 

What should I do for them? What is the best?

I-130 or let them try tourist Visa again?

You can submit I-130s for them, and plan to visit them there in their country.

{Partial moderator hat on}... slow down here! You are starting to venture off into frivolous activities in an effort to by-pass immigration policies. 

 

Don't use a visitor visa just so she can get here sooner. Don't make frivolous claims just so your sister can claim asylum because it takes too long for her to get here. There are desperate people who are suffering in the world whose lives are in danger whom legitimately needs asylum. 

 

You need to accept the fact that your sister will not be here for many years. It is a realization that is part of life. It does not help your nor your family to try to find a back door way of doing things. Do it the proper way. If she obtains a B2 visa, she can only visit for short periods of time. She cannot use a visitor visa to try and remain here while your sibling case is being processed. 

 

I agree.

It will be nice for them just to visit. I think we take it to far. They both does not even speak English.
I just want them to be happy and able to see me here.

Can they get a tourist visa while they are waiting for the I-130?

Or the embassy will denied them for that reason only.

You have been told numerous times in this thread already. You simply file for them and wait. They can file for a visitor visa but that is no guarantee and it cannot be used to immigrate them here.

 

All you can do is file and wait. That is it. 

 

And if you really want to see them you can make a trip over to them.

Ok.

I will do that since it is the only way. I am just felling good that at least I was trying to help them .

I will work on the I-130

You can do the translation or find someone to do it.

 

Include the USCIS translation certification.  Google for it on a .gov website.

And if my mom came in less that 2 years. can she also file for my sister another form to bring her faster if she is not married while the I-130 form is pending.

If you are considering the file for Mom first route, then your sister would have to remain unmarried because Green Card holders cannot sponsor married children. For that route, she would have to remain unmarried until she enters the US with the F2B visa. If she marries after the F2B visa is issued she won't be admissible in that Immigrant status.

I would like to do it. but how this would work.

It is not very smart to pay someone $100  for each birth certificate to translate mainly names I have to provide.

How many years that could take?

What do you mean how does it work?  You literally translate the documents yourself.  You're using a computer, so use a word processing program.

It takes about 7 years for a green card parent to petition for an unmarried child over age 21.
