I-130 for parents, but what will happen to the dather that is 18 years old?
- Thread starter from_iowa
- Start date
Parents of US citizens are classified as immediate relatives and do not come under any annual quotas. Sisters/brothers have a quota, therefore your wife's sister won't be able to come with her parents. She will need a I-130 separate petition for sibling of US citizens, it is backlogged several years.

Hello,
My wife recently became a US citizen. So we filed I-130's for her parents to come to the USA, but her 18 year old sister still lives with the parents. How will she be able to come to the USA, assuming the parents could come soon?
She can't move to the US anytime soon, unless she finds another way independent of your wife. The sibling category is backlogged 12 years.

You are wrong. The sister qualifies as a derivative beneficiary of the mother.

Those who immigrate as parents of US citizens aren't allowed to have derivative beneficiaries.
