Running blocks in the same branch

I am facing a problem that I cannot understand. If I have a method signature with a Block parameter with a callback in it, and in my method I use an API that has another block, the API executes asyncand my code continues and calls my callback method. This allows my view controller to know that everything is complete when, in fact, often this is not due to an API block.

Since my method always calls the callback method (and async starts), can I force the API call to use the block to run synchronously?

View controller

[self.tagRepo sync:^(BOOL finished) {
    if (finished) {
        NSLog(@"Sync completed.");
        if (self.tagRepo.isSyncing)
            NSLog(@"Syncing continues...");
    }
}];

    if (self.isSyncing)
