As a U.S. citizen, can I sponsor my sibling for a green card while she is also being sponsored by her employer?

Answer

Yes, one could file an I-130 petition for a sibling under these circumstances. However, due to backlogs in this category, it will likely take 20+ years to get a green card as the sibling of a U.S. citizen. (26.Nov.2018)
