NUWORLD Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) 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 8/02/2007Received 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 infoand 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!!

Randy W Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 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. Link to comment

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. Mike and Hong Link to comment
Randy W Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 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. Visa Bulletin for March, 2008 Link to comment

jim_julian Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 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 ...
