No, because your family will need to have their own business and in some ways prove that no American can fill the void of that position, except you.

I'm in the process of applying there myself. I tried last year but didn't have any luck landing a job. Later on, a manufacturing company did however offer to sponsor me after finding my designs on the net. I didn't follow through since I had some stuff I had to take care of here like finishing school first.

Now I have a BA and 2 years industry experience plus 4 years freelance experience so I'll give it another shot this summer. I've found a few companies worth applying for so hopefully they'll recognize my portfolio and offer me a sponsorship again.

However, the easiest way to migrate to the states would have to be going to school there.
She's in Healthcare. The US has a huge shortage, so it's much easier for her to land a position there.

You, on the other hand, will be totally different.
