According to the IRS, "You generally can’t claim a person as a dependent unless that person is a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident alien, U.S. national, or a resident of Canada or Mexico. However, there is an exception for certain adopted children." Unless your sister can meet this requirement, you cannot claim her as a dependent.
