Hi all, long time i havent been here. My friend has a sister who will be applying for her citizenship sometime in next couple of years i guess and he was asking me if she will be able to sponsor him/apply for him to obtain GC after she receives her citizenship. Is there such provision? At least i dont know of one. Please advise as I want to help out. Thanks in advance.

Sure, it's the FB4 category. Depending on where he was born, the wait time is between 11 and 22 years.
To apply for work permit/travel docs one should be in legal status. Having a petition filed (I-130) does not give a legal status to anyone.JJBBKK said:11-22 years is just amazing, during that wait time, is he eligible to apply for work permit/travel docs?
Is it the same case if a parent is applying for a son over 21?
A citizen parent applying for a married son/daughter over 21 is family category F3. - Currently processing cases from 1998.
A citizen applying for a brother/sister is family category F4. - Currently processing cases from 1995.
