Hello everyone, we came to us in 1995 under the resident alien status,my oldest brother left his girlfriend behind,to make the long story short he left u.s. 2 months short from getting his green card in the mail. He has been living there in belarus since then, now he has a family but would like to come back to live you u.s. he still has social security number. I am willing to do whatever it takes to bring them here to u.s. with us. Please give. Me some ideas that I can start looking at. Thanks to everyone.

You don't tell us how you were able to get resident status in the first place. If it was through your parents, and your parents are still in the US and US citizens now, they can petition for him as an immediate relative (their child). If so, that goes pretty quickly.

If it's only you who is a relative of your brother, then you must be a US citizen. if you got your Green Card in 1995, that is likely the case. If so, you can petition for your brother, but it will take a very long time.

If you are not a US citizen, you cannot petition for your brother at all. Green Card holders can only petition for a spouse (husband/wife).

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

When did he leave?

from what is says his brother is married with kids. it says that he has a family.

even if his parents would file for him, married children over 21, takes a very long time, over 8 years. It doesn't look like his brother is unmarried and under 21 which would have made him an immediate relative.

married children take a very long time as well.

It would be quickest if his parents sponsor, so first step at least one of them needs to naturalise.

how old is he and is he single or married?

that makes a big difference on how long does he have to wait.

even if your parents became USC, it takes more than 9 years for them to petition a married child, they are working with January 1st, 2001 the category 3 for married children of a USC.

if you are a USC, you can file for him ss well. the 4th category for siblings is on January 1st, 2002, so anyways more than 8 years.

if any of you decide to file for him, he will still have the A# that he had and the SS number. those are his forever.

No harm in trying, especially with a family to go back to.

His past asylum claim and family connections will go against him, his family connections outside the US may balance it out.
