care_candidate Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 There is a huge wait time (10+ years) for sibling category. You can check details on USCIS visa bulletin they publish each month. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 You never file an I-485 for anybody. SHE can file an I-485 when the PD is current, and she is in valid status in the US. Her H1 maxes out after 6 years. The PD for family category 4, sibling of a US citizen, is more than 10 years out. That means unless she had another way to stay in the US she would have to leave when the H1 runs out. An I-485 can not be filed from abroad, she can apply for an immigrant visa when the PD is current. Quote Link to comment
