I am currently in the US as a grad student. My sister is a US citizen.
Can she apply for my green card and adjustment of status? Would that make the wait time a little shorter than normal wait time of 10 years since I am already in the US?
OR will I become out of status from F1 and become illegal once I130 is applied?
From what I understand, I cannot leave the US while the application is pending. Would documents like advance parole help when I go home to see my parents?
Or it would just be better to wait till I finish school and apply for H1?
Please advise.
Sincerely.
