You're only eligible to file for your sister if you are a citizen. You might be better off first filing for your mother and then your mother could file for your sister. It takes many years through your family. Your sister might be able to immigrate based on employment faster, depending on her education, experience and skills.
The above is general information, not legal advice upon which you can rely. It doesn't form an attorney client relationship. For further information, feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 818 609 1953.
