Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

If your sister is from Mexico, it takes 15 years for a visa number to become available to her. If she was born in some other country, for most countries, it currently takes 9 years.

No, she can't get a work permit or travel document. She has to wait abroad OR if in USA, should have some valid long-term visa. If she is in F1 status, she needs to maintain it through the years.
