Sister sponsoring me to become US Citizen

My sister who was previously a Canadian citizen recently became a US citizen after marrying her US husband. Can she sponsor her brother who is a Canadian citizen now working in the US on a TN visa? If so, how long does it typically take? What's involved in the process?

She could sponsor you, but it could take several years to process. Current processing timelines for the California service centre for sibling petitions are still back at 2001! That's 7 years. And once you have an I-130 petition submitted with your name on it, it may become difficult to renew TN visas, or apply for any other type of non-immigrant visa.

7 years in incorrect, you have to factor in the visa bulletin. All countries except MEX, INDIA, CHINA, PHIL have a priority date of July 1997 for 4th preference family-based petitions, so your looking at more than 10 years before you can file for adjustment of status, which is in addition to the I-130 processing time. And you can't file an I-130 with an I-485 (one-step file) unless the priority date is current.

I disagree that there would be an immigrant intent issue. What CBP officer in their right mind would claim immigrant intent if you can't adjust for 10+ years?

What CBP officer is in their right mind?

some info on visajourney, but I belive most of them are coming over on a family sponsored visa, not a work one, but cant hurt to ask.
