Can I file for my sister or should her son be the one to petition her?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
If your sister overstayed less than one year, it should not affect her eligibility for an immigrant visa. If she overstayed 1 year or longer, she is inadmissible for 10 years, and a petition you or your nephew would file now would be denied; you should wait until 10 years will pass since she left the U.S. On your petition, your sister will have to wait for a visa about 12 years (17 years if she is a Mexican citizen, 24 years if she is a citizen of the Philippines). On her son's petition, the process will take a year to a year-and-a-half.

Could they give her years in prison for using someone else’s identity and if yes, how many years would they give her in prison?

It would depend on how may criminal counts she is charged with and whether they are felonies or misdemeanors. Each misdemeanor could carry a potential sentence of up to one year and each felony a potential sentence of up to 3 years. I strongly suggest that your mother retain the best criminal defense attorney she can afford.

Google the 2011 federal poverty guidelines. Look at the 125% chart. Add yourself, all dependents and your fiance. Look up that number and it will tell you the exact amount you need to make! (You can also use a joint sponsor or the asset test if you do not meet the requirements.)
