my wifes sister

[johns]

I am starting some research to immigrate or obtain some kind of visa for my wifes sister to US. Her sister is a college student, not married.

 

My wife is on a green card now in US and if I am correct she needs to be a US citizen to apply for her sister?

 

But the fact we are married can I be considered a direct relative now and me being a US citizen I can apply for her sister?

 

Tourist visa -- I know their is a slim to none chance to get her here to visit on a tourist since she is a student and not married.

 

thanks

Your wife has get her citizenship before she can apply for her sister. It will be a F4 LIMITED FAMILY-BASED visa. Thus, it may take a long time to get one.

A student visa is her only chance for now, unless she finds an American fiance.
