Question

i am a us citizen and my brother just passed leaving a 17 year old daughter and an 11 year old son. my sister in law (wife) is battling a stage 4 cancer and has been in and out of the hospital. she was given 3 to 6 months to live. Is there a way to petition or bring my nephew/niece here to the US?



Answer

I am sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, an aunt or uncle CANNOT petition a niece/nephew. Only a U.S. citizen parent, child over 21 or spouse can petition a foreign spouse, child under 21, parent or sibling.
