Hi,

Thanks for all the info...

I asked an immigration lawyer and were told that my wife, a new USC, should apply for her brother at the same time as her parents...then when her parents become LPR, they can also apply for their son...And he will go to USA with the file which processes faster at the time...

The lawyer mentioned that it would take roughly about the same number of years for my wife to choose either way to apply for her brother: by her or by her parents once they become LPR.

However, the lawyer emphasized that the brother must stay un-married throughout the processing time if sponsored by the parents while he does not have to if sponsored by her sister (my wife) -> Conclusion: my wife already prepared sponsoring paperworks for him along with her parents.

Thanks again.

your parents can apply for him after they get their GC. :thumbs::thumbs:

My brother is 13-years-old. My plan is get him a student visa while he waits for the Green card. :thumbs:

A student visa requires non immigrant intent.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

It depends, my brother is going to attend elementary school (private); consequently he will have to live in U.S.

It is the only thing I can do, once he is very young and the law does not give me any other options. :unsure:

He does not have to live in the US to go to elementary school.

First get your visa.

Doesnt matter if you want him living with you. It matters what the USCIS thinks which unfortunately knows that their are often very good elementary schools even in other countries
