Bringing minor sister and response for those who ...

I am a citizen and I applied for my mom visa I 130. She has her interview coming soon. I was very upset when I heard from others that my 16 years old sister, will not get visa at the same time. They said that she has to wait over ten years, but she is minor. What if she is baby, I asked them (INS) , they told me same that she has to wait. Is any way around this. My mom is very sick and she will never leave country without my sister.

Thank you,

Who is "others" here? I'm interested to know cuz if you are citizens you can just sponser your sister the same way that you are sponsoring your mom.

I'd say the best suggestion will come from a lawyer. So, contact a reputed lawyer such as Rajiv Khanna.
I'd also suggest to visit this link:

Talk to some attorney. If she is minor she can accompany the mother. You cannot directly sponsor your sister that will take 10 years. But as minor dependent she should be able to enter.

Well, I know it sounds asinine, but that is US immigration policy; they have to draw the line somewhere. I do not mean to be unsympathetic, but this is the type of case that causes nightmares to immigration policy makers. You mention that your mother is sick and one may presume that when she comes here, she will likely not get affordable health insurance. Even if you are able to obtain some coverage, pre-existing conditions will most certainly be excluded. When you are unable to bear the medical expenses (it is bound to happen at some point given the exorbitant bills you receive for medical care), your mother will have to get public assistance, which burdens the already empty coffers of the US treasury.

I know it sounds harsh, but there is no easy way out for those of us that have decided to make a home away from home.:eek:

Who is "others" here? It is INS. I know that I can sponsor my sister same way, but she is just 16. I can not let her be there on her own.
Thank you for your suggestion to contact a lawyer.

Anyeway, about my mom sickness, you presumed right that if she comes here I will ask for help. Why not? I am working hard here to acoplish everything that I have, they can help my mother.
But, somwhere there ar enice people too. Because the INS knows that my mom is sick, and belive or not they speed up process and they finished all papers in less than one month. I am not trying to make my home away from home , my life and my family and my home belongs here in the USA. I could not wit to becoem a citizen. ANd, now that I am belive or not I never think of my original country of my birth. If I liked there I will be there.
