Generally speaking, persons who are the beneficiaries of sibling I-130 petitions are able to obtain visiting visas to come to the US. Most American consular officers are realistic and they know that the sibling category takes approximately 12 years, and family members may wish to visit the US during those years. In most cases where the visa applicant is able to show sufficient ties to the home country, consular officers will issue visiting visas.
