Hi!

I will be petitioning my parents, brother & sister this year. And if all things goes well, my parents will be here next year. My question is, if or when my parents pattition gets approved and they get to come here, will they be able to bring my sister since she will still be under 21 and is still considered a "child". Because I've heard situations where siblings petition their other siblings and they get to bring their children who are under 21 with them because they're automatically included in the petition. And I'm hoping that it's the same with parents with underaged children/child and in this situation also a sibling of mine. Thanks!

No, only parents get to come in a year. Siblings have to wait until their visa number becomes available - for your country that's another around 22 yrs wait.
