My friend was born in the US and she has a sister in Central America. Is there a way she can come LEGALLY?
Answer:
She can try to file a petition to "Sponsor" her. I believe it's a I-130 form. It can be found at the uscis.gov website. However, I would stongly suggest your friend speak with a immigration lawyer.
Do the paperwork BEFORE she comes
She can definately file an immigrant petition for her sister, but now the wait time is 10+ years.
well if shes hot she can marry me for a tarjeta verde!
Of course. She just needs to go to the US embassy nearest her and apply. It will take a few years, as she will be about "5th preference".
1st preference is parents who are citizens, or a spouse
2nd preference is one parent who is a citizen
3rd preference is parents who are permanent residents, or a spouse.
etc.
If your friend is a US citizen, she can sponsor her sister using Form I-130, "Petition for Alien Relative" but it will take years for it to be processed.
Yes, it's easy but will take many years if the sister in Central America is over the age of 21. My guess is that CIS will require DNA testing to prove the relationship.
