The family petitioning process will not work due to highly restricted visa numbers. The U.S. has imposed Title 42 to bar foreign applicants to asylum. The Courts are finding such bars without factual...

Without knowing all the details to this case it's difficult to give you a response. I'm also not sure what your question is.
