The family came to the U.S. 2 years ago. They filed for asylum and are
waiting their interview. The mother is a single mom and has 4 children. They

If they are waiting for their asylum application to be decided then that is what they should do. You cannot petition for them if they are not related to you in any way. You might be able to serve as a sponsor if they need, for affidavit of support purposes.
