change of marital status
I applied for the I130 for my sister, it’s been 4 years waiting. she was single at the time but now is married. can I change her status if the case hasn’t been approved yet or will that delay the procedure ? what’s the best course of action ?

There is no category for married/single sibling, they are in one category regardless of the martial status. So there is nothing to be done. It would have mattered if your parents were petitioning your sister.

@Franck T its better you update her 130 with adding her hubby to her 130 pepition although this will not change her category or reduce wait time, but it's always good to have an update record with USCIS....

It takes around 7-10 for unmarried sister to be approved. In case, your sister gets married, you will be in category F4 which can take longer around 10-13 years to be approved.
