USC filed I-130 for brother (in Pakistan) who has been granted a visit visa

[nakhan1 0]

Hello,

I am a USC and filed a I-130 for my brother and his family back in 2003. My brother is 40 years old, his wife around 32, kids are 10, 8, 4. I think it would be another 6 years or so before he gets his green card.

Now, my brother and his family, who lives in Pakistan, has been granted a 5 year multiple B1/B2 visa.

Obviously if he comes here on the visit visa, he will not be authorized to work.

Is there any way he can come here to visit and file for an adjustment of status based on the fact that his I-130 is pending?

If so, will he be able to get employment authorization?

Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Until there is a visa number available for him there isn't anything he can do. So he will have to visit for the next 5-6 years. He needs to make sure not to overstay as overstays are not forgiven for siblings as they are so spouses.

My childhood friend completed his PHD in Canada and was given a teaching job here in US. I guess this job comes with a greencard. With this greencard, can he file for his brother who is married with kid? Please fellows, let me know.

Why are you trying to hijack another person's thread. Start your own thread. Multiple questions only create confusion because it becomes hard to keep track of the conversation.
