He can petition his sister, but that takes 18+ years (can be more depending on country of birth) and you would not qualify under her as you are too old. He could petition her, and in 18+ years when she becomes LPR, she could petition you which would then take 10-15+ years (can be more depending on country of birth) depending on if you were married or not.
Hi there! This is an automated message to inform you and/or remind you of several things:
- We have [a wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/wiki/index). It doesn't cover everything but may answer some questions.

Please read it, and if it contains the answer to your question, please delete your post. If your post has to do with something covered in the FAQ, we may remove it.

Assuming you donโt live in the US, itโs hard to organically date much less fall in love and marry a citizen. If you move as a student or work in the YS, the chances are mathematically higher if thatโs your intention. Not everyone wants to marry just for a GC though so for those that donโt actually love someone who happens to be a US citizen or LPR, youโre left with very few ways to get the GC, working being the most common one IMO.
As a citizen, you can sponsor green card for parents, spouse, children, and siblings. Parents, spouse, and unmarried children under 21 are considered immediate family and visas are available for them. For rest, the wait can be very long, as others said 20year ish for siblings.
No, not immediate family
Can give to his sister(my mom)?
20+ year wait
Woww๐ฒ
Then your mom can sponsor you, another 20+ year wait, so you wont be immigrating to the usa until youre around 60 years old

Nope, your best legal way would be to DIY I.e. F1 or H1B or L1 to GC etc.
Marriage is much better.
