But he does not want to be a full citizen. He prefers the ten-year-renewable Greencard, if he must continue to stay in the US... I do not know how work visa works...can someone explain to me the modalities involved?

then he cannot file for his brother, only US Citizens can file for siblings.

the GC depends on what type of work visa will he be coming with. it will take several years depending on what type of visa he enters with if and when he will get his GC.

and also the GC is to live here permanently.

He was offered a teaching job by a university in Rhode Island here in the US immediately he completed his PhD in Canada.

Without knowing the exact type of visa that your friend is entering the US on, there is no way to give you any information. There are lots of different visas that allows a foreign person to work in the US. None that I know of leads directly to a green card right away. You seem to be confused about the basic information. If you can give us good information, we can help give you good answers. Bad information = bad answers or no answers.

I've been offered lots of interesting things in my lifetime, some outright kinky, but I declined many of those in order to avoid legal prosecution.

In order to accept a teaching position in the US, your friend will need to be authorized to work in the US. He would have to be a resident, or get a work visa. But even in the best case scenario, he cannot ever petition for his brother as long as he is a foreigner.

The first thing you'd have to find out is based on what visa he proposes to enter the US and work here.

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.

Oh! I thought job opportunities come with green card too...can someone really stay and work in the US witn just EAD? Ok, so with this EAD he can now apply for Greencard? Please, educate me on this issue. I will appreciate.

Read the "Guides" located above. There is way too much for me to post.

Then tell him to have the university sponsor him for a work visa. They should have an immigration attorney on retainer specifically for this sort of thing. The university's attorney will tell him what information and documents he needs to provide, and will handle all of the filings with the US government. He doesn't need advice from lay people on a public forum. :blush:
