A LPR can only petition for their spouse and children. You as the USC of the spouse can only petition for your LPR spouse children. The brother-inlaw does not fall under any of these options. He can visit using the VWP.

When your spouse becomes a USC then he can petition for his brother, it will be a 8 to 10 year wait.

wow i didnt realize that it would take so long.... is it possible for him to apply for a work visa ... my husband and I run our own business and could employee him

That is a costly process and you'll will have to prove that there is no one in the US with the required skills for the job. So the likely hood of him getting a work visa is about -1%.

He can come over on a student visa, but he must prove that he can cover the cost of the school tution, that's about 8 to 10,000 dollars for collge.

The direct answer is no, employers apply for work visa's.

If you are looking at the H1b you apply 1st April for 1st October start. Really something for the Company's Immigration Lawyer.

“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.”

per year for collge.

The 8 to 10,000 is a low estimate, university cost is running about 20,000 per year now.
