My sister is pending asylum and is engaged to a wonderful gentleman in Afghanistan. He is not included in her asylum case as they are not married yet. The asylum case has been pending for over 4 years and she is losing her mind... She is deeply in love and does not wanna leave him behind. What are some ways to bring him over?
If he has education and job skills and there is a viable US employer willing to sponsor for the green card, the employer could possibly sponsor him under the PERM labor certification process. The time would take approximately 2 years assuming that all goes well. There are other possible avenues, but they would depend upon his family relationships and whether he had outstanding talent. If your sister's case is pending before U.S.C.I.S., and she has a travel document, she could possibly request advance parole on humanitarian grounds to possibly meet up with and marry the person in a third country. It is not assured that she will obtain this, but she can try if she wishes. If she is successful, however, she may face questioning when she returns to the US if she is using the passport of the country from which she is seeking protection.
