Given that I will be a US citizen soon, I want to apply for green card for my unmarried and disabled sister (above 21 years) who is living with my parents in India. My parents are old, so I want to bring my sister here so that I can take care of her after my parents pass on. She is also a slow learner (or not matured with her age). Last year her leg was amputated. So given that she has these issues I wish to bring her here. What is the best plan of action to bring her here as soon as possible. My parents are aged 81 and 76. Is there a special category for such cases on humanitarian grounds.

My plan is:
Plan A: (1) To apply for green card for my parents and
(2) once they get the green card, they can apply for my sister as unmarried daughter

Plan B: I could apply for green card for my sister myself.

Please advise. Also please let me know the approximate time it takes to get a green card if I follow either plan A or B and which one is a better approach. Thank you in advance.

Are you a millionaire? Or are your parents millionaires? If not, how do you plan to afford the medical treatment in the US for your parents and sister, given that it will likely be impossible for them to get insurance?

And if you bring your parents to the US, who will take care of your sister in the years while your sister waits for a green card?

I am not rich and know that I cant afford medical treatment for my parents in the US but I could get their health checked up just before I bring them to US and buy all the medicines they need for their stay and cross my fingers that nothing drastic will happen. I have a friend that lives nearby who is a doctor so she can check them for small health problems. Meanwhile I will try hard to find some insurance. I understand that this may not be a good idea. But at the moment I am just exploring my options.

But in any case I understand that it is risky. As for my sister I would have to find a institute/nursing home to take care of her while she waits for green card assuming that I find one that is willing to take her in.

Other than that right now I am clueless as to how I can acheive this...

Ofcourse in worst case I would have to relocate for the sole reason to take care of her in India but that would be my last option. I wish to try everything before I choose this option.

Right now the reason I posted is to explore what options I have at hand to get her a green card. And to find out if this is feasible. Kind of brainstorming....

I am an under-40 man in robust health, and I have insurance, yet I spent over $4000 last year for treatments and tests and physical therapy for a "small health problem".

You could be killing your parents and/or bankrupting yourself by bringing your over-75 parents here, thus making it even harder for you to provide for your sister.

And in case you dont know, it is illegal to import drugs into the US if you arent a DEA-registered importer. Customs officers will usually use their discretion to allow small quantities for personal use, but dont expect to bring in a years supply of multiple different medicines.

For the money you would spend every year to support them in the US and treat their "small health problems", if you send that money to India theyll live longer and healthier and youll still be able to afford surgery or other major treatments there if they need it. With that amount of money you can even hire a full-time nurse to come to their house 5-6 days a week.
