Both your wife and sister can petition for you on form I-130, but your wife's petition will be processed much faster because the wait time for your sister's petition is currently about 12-13 years. Your wife will be required to filed an affidavit of support on your behalf if she is the petitioner, no matter where she lives or her employment status, but your sister can also do the same as a joint sponsor for you.

You can stay here while you wait for the processing your green card if you entered the US legally and have already submitted an I-485 application for adjustment of status to USCIS.

If you were to marry a U.S. Citizen for love, it is possible to come back. *Permission to Reenter, Consulate Processing and Waiver of the 3/10 year bar * There are three packages that must be completed. The Consulate Processing, the Permission to Reenter and the Waiver of Inadmissibility. A Consulate Processing package needs to be done for the Family Petition. This is a petition that will allow your loved one to come to the U.S. Our firm can prepare the Consulate Processing package which goes through U.S. Immigration, the National Visa Center and then the Consulate, so it goes smoothly and correctly. A Waiver of Inadmissibility will have to be obtained. This is a package that will include a legal brief, forms, documents, exhibits and declarations. My firm can prepare the entire waiver, and attach all of the necessary documents. It will take several months for the decision, and if done correctly, there is a good chance of an approval. The Waiver essentially makes the ground of ineligibility (i.e., the 3/10 year bar) disappear so that the you will be allowed entry into the U.S. You will also need to have a Permission to Reenter done so that the deportation bar will be lifted. This is a complete package that goes to the District Director to allow entry into the U.S. many years prior to when the deportation order would allow.
