I have filed for my Brother who is in India, and he is over 21 and married, but not shown as married on paper.... My mother came to USA, and she got her green card last month.... now, can we put a new file under my mother's name saying that she wants to file for her son? what is the process? how long will it take for him to come to USA? once he comes to USA, can he call his wife?

Well, if your mother wants to petition her son and he is over 21 , then he falls under F2B category...!

It takes almost 6 to 7 years according to current visa bulletin...!

Doesn't matter if he is married for 50 years or 1 minute. He's married. You know it, it's fraud plain and simple.

He must remain single the entire time his petition is pending. The only exception is if the mother obtains US citizenship the petition can be upgraded and only after that may he marry. If he marries at any time the petition is pending as an unmarried adult child of an LPR the petition becomes void.

The moment he got married there is no petition for a green card parent. So your mother must become a USC ( 5 years ) and then file and the total time will be longer than your currently filed sibling petition. The current date for sibling from India is 2001 so about 12 years and for married children of USC it is 2003 but your mom has 5 years before she can file .

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

It would be quicker for you to file for him as a sibling. Your Mother can file as well when she Naturalises, assuming she wants to.

Can a GC holder file for a sibling? I thought only USC's could.
