My sister Inlaw

[NUWORLD]

Hello all.

It's been awhile since i posted here in this thread.

Now that my wife is here in the U.S. on a CR1

 

Here is a recap of our time line.

 

Wife arrived in the U.S. on 8/02/2007

Received GC and SS# two weeks after arriving here in the U.S.

 

Got hired at my place of employment as of 9/01/2007

 

Life is grand! and i (WE) love it.

As some know here on CFL and have read my other posts (Having a baby)

We are working very hard at this.

Trust me! We ARE! working very hard to start a family.

But then again It's a lot a fun trying too.

 

Any how back on topic:

 

Like i said before, Wife is here on a CR1 and is working.

 

I know this has been posted before and i should know this info but it has been awhile since i had to do any visa paper work.

The first time around was enough and was very stressful (BLUE SLIP)

But thats another story ( But for the ones that know me already know my story) So here is my question?

 

My wife and I would like to bring my wifes younger sister ( My sister In law ) to the U.S. to live with us and work.

 

What is the process and what forms do i need to get this started?

On the other hand, Is this possible???

 

Now before everyone starts asking question.

Here is one fact that i know.

My employer will hire her if and when she arrives here in the U.S.

So there IS a job waiting for her here in the U.S.

 

I know there are many CFL members here that can help with this info

and i hope they will ring in?? ( Like Dan the man or DavidZ ) but any and all will be welcomed and all advice would be great!

Even the newbe's here on CFL can join in.

 

Take care everyone and enjoy your new adventure!!

She would not be able to work on a tourist visa. The way to get this to work would be for your employer to sponsor her for a work visa.

Thanks Randy:

Yes i figured this would be the answer!

But i have another question for ya.

As you know the wife is here in a CR1 now maybe I'm wrong.

But doesn't that make it easer for a family member to immigrate to the U.S. ???

 

Like i said maybe I'm wrong with this thought.

But then again, I see no problem with my employer sponsoring her.

This subject has been brought up before with my boss.

 

I'm about 2/3 the way up the latter in my employment so i have some pull.

 

Both my wife and I, My sister in law, And my employer know this will take some time.

So i figure now is the time to get this started.

If your wife had filed the I-130 as a US citizen in Dec, 1996, her sister would now be eligible for a CR-1 visa.

 

There is no category for the sister of an LPR.

It's unlikely that the prospective employer could bring her in on an H1-B visa ... which is the work visa that would be required.

 

It's been a few years since I've done this but there is an H-1B quota and you need to demonstrate that no current US citizen could fill the position.

 

Not very easy ... I did it ounce for a guy ...
