Milpitas, CA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Is your husband going with you? You should be fine if you maintain your ties to the US (driver's license, bank accounts, credit cards, memberships, etc.), show that the visit is temporary and be sure to return before 6 months. If you are really concerned, file for a re-entry permit as well.

You may bring your sister to the US by submitting an I-130 petition on her behalf along with copies of your translated birth certificates to establish your familial relationship. The filing fee is $420, payable to the Department of Homeland Security. As to how long it will take, it will depend on where your sister was born.

I am assuming that you are a U.S. citizen. Once you are married, you would file an I-130 and I-485 to get the process started. Your fiance's deferred action will not affect the immigration process. I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process.
