Because of his illegal second re-entry he is subject to the permanent bar and cannot apply for a waiver of the permanent bar for 10 years.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration/ attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your brother-in-law's situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze his case and advise you of his options.

You must consult with an immigration attorney for a review of the case because there is a chance that the last entry bars him permanently from receiving a green card.

More information is needed to determine eligibility. Your sister should go see a lawyer in person with copies of the documents.

She has to file a petition. It takes years. He is presently barred from obtaining residency.

If he reentered the US unlawfully, he is not eligible for legalization of his status within the US.
