请教皮匠和数字老师,关于亲属移民

哥哥有公民身份,已经为父母递交了绿卡申请,妹妹和父母目前都在美国境内,妹妹为有效的探亲签证。

现在哥哥想同时再为妹妹办理绿卡的亲属移民。请问,等待期内妹妹是否也可以合法在美居留?

-Your sister has to have her own non-immigration status valid until the priority date becomes current abouit 10 years later and it seems impossible unless she can find a job to have H1 status.

因为听说给父母办绿卡时间比较快,基本上半年就能搞定了,但是妹妹的排期可能至少要10年,

-Correct.

如果申请提交时妹妹在美滞留的身份合法,申请被受理以后妹妹可以不回国等待排期吗?

-Yes, she has to go back to China to wait.

谢谢两位老师帮忙解惑!
