drsam HUH? If Janice is the kid of John & Jane, and Jane got married again, last time I checked Jane is still the mother of Janice AND since Jane married Shannon's DAD(Steve) they thus become "step sisters". Yes they are not BLOOD related but related none the less.

Colt same rule applies

Janice and Shannon are Step Sisters

While Justin is Janice & Shannon's Half brother.

John and Jane have a kid named Janice

John and Jane get divorced, Jane marries Steve who already has a daughter named Shannon from his ex wife

Steve and Jane have a kid named Justin

What is the connection between Janice, Shannon and Justin?

If the last names are the same then there's no issues in applying for family visit visa. Immigration does not have DNA testing for issuing visa.

hislam is right, half-sister means having the same father or same mother.

rizks- if you dont know the meaning of such, you'd better ask me or anyone you know who has higher IQ than yours.

tinkerbell10- we have the same father, but now i am married so my middle name is the same as her last name.

Tinker corrections

Half Brother/Sister: where there is One common biological Father/Mother

eg: Man having child from first wife marries again and has second child = Half Sibling

Sept Brother/Sister: Where the child is from another parent.

eg: Man marries a woman who already has a child from the previous husband

Are such comments out of not understanding the question or out of showing off the languistic skills?

Half sister would be a sister from another father/mother or sister-in-law.

Jentizon, As far as I know this would be dificult and most probably she will need to come on tourism visa; but better to wait for more experienced answer or why not giving it a try.
