I had 7 surgeries in the course of the last 4 years and I've had nurses come to my home regularly. This is the way to go. 

I am sorry about that. Can't imagine with one surgery. Left alone 7. Hope you get well soon.

Perhaps you can have the surgery in Indonesia. If so, your sister can take care of you there while you recover.

I can not use my insurance over there.

Because she clearly wants to immigrate.   Consular officers are required to assess immigrant intent for tourist visa applicants.

It's hard to proof that she only wants to visit, I think.

Is it she a nurse or something? If you need just a família support for this period , immigration visa is not for this.

 

Even if she was applying for any other visa (not tourist) Will not take less than 1 or 2 years.

 

Sorry for that and I hope you get better soon.

She's not a nurse. I will need help to grab this and that  after the surgery. I dont need her to immigrate, i just want her to visit when i need her since tourist visa always fail, i just think F130 might work but i was wrong i think.

She won't likely get a tourist visa, ever.

 

If you need household help, your best bet is to hire someone locally.

why she won't get tourist visa ever? because she has sibling here?

Just now, Crazy Cat said:

Skilled Nursing care is covered by some health insurance or private agencies. 

That will be an option.

Just now, SalishSea said:

No she can't.  That visa category is numerically limited each year.  You should familiarize yourself with the visa bulletin.

I know, right?. I dont know anything about visa. I just think the process will be same like when USC file K1 for me in the past. So it seems not as easy as I think.

Husband able to help out or take some time off?

He works and I will need somebody to be by myside 24 hrs/day for sometimes  if i go through the surgery. 

Just now, Crazy Cat said:

What kind of help?  A sibling visa is not going to happen any time soon.  I would start formulating an alternate plan.

Just help at home as i might have surgery that will block me to do daily chores and mental support during the process and after.

Is there somebody you could introduce her to?

you mean a guy? no.

4 minutes ago, Crazy Cat said:

Nope.  She cannot come to the US to live via a sibling visa  until the visa is issued...in about 20 years. 

what??? man, that's too long. I need her soon as my health condition is bad and i need help from her. I tried tourist visa but failed.

2 minutes ago, PaulaCJohnny said:

N.O. . There is not adjust of status too, just for you to know. She cannot live in the US without a property Immigration visa.

Do you have a Joint sponsor? Will your spouse be the one?

 

Yes, my husband will be a joint sponsor.

3 minutes ago, SalishSea said:

You can file without regard to sponsorship ability, because it will be TWENTY (20) YEARS before a visa number is available to your sister, and obviously your financial situation will be completely different then.

what is that mean that visa number will be available in 20 years? but she can come iASAP once they approve the petiton, right? 

4 minutes ago, Crazy Cat said:

File now..... Don't worry about what may or may not happen in the next 2 decades.  Besides, no one can guarantee how long siblings will be allowed to immigrate.

Okay, i will file ASAP.

Maybe in 20 years you will be working?

i dont think i will be working even in 20 years. I will always be a housewife. 

2 minutes ago, Crazy Cat said:

Of course you can. You can file the I-130 immediately.  You won't need a joint sponsor for about 15 or 20 years.  

It scares me when i read uscis web stating that i should be able to support her financially here while I dont work, my husband is the breadwinner. 

Hi,

So can a USC whose job as housewife/housemaker file f-130/family alien visa for my sister?.  Thank you.

Guys thank you for your replies. I am watching and reading it but due to limited internet access, it is a little bit hard to reply one by one. 

Additional info:

His kids that i took care was 5 kids for the first 3,5 years then 3 kids for the past 3 years and 4 kids for the last one year.

While i have 2 kids from him. 

His kids already grown up and so lazy that makes me just tired by myself taking care of the house

Do you have it in writing that he gave you permission to permanently move his children to Indonesia?  Or do you just have a verbal agreement that he may at some point say never happened?

I find it hard to believe that he gave you permission to permanently move his children to Indonesia and give you sole custody when he will not consider giving you a divorce.

Just verbally. 

3 minutes ago, Jojo92122 said:

Yup.

 

Did your husband give you permission to take his 6 years old and 18 months old children permanently to Indonesia?  If he didn't, then you might be charged with international parental kidnapping.  

He did.

Under US laws, you will need to file in Maryland where your husband lives for a divorce.  You can try to file by yourself or hire a lawyer to help you.  Indonesia has nothing to do with him.  

 

The rules may be different in Indonesia.  Since he is a US citizen and lives in the US, an Indonesian court has little or no power over him.  You may be able to divorce in Indonesia but the US does not have to honor any of it.  

Thank you for the answer.
