Hello to all ! Its good to be back on these forums ..my thanks again to all who help others out .

I have been a USC here for almost two decades now and my spouse and kids joined me here a few years ago. Now I want to file for my brother who is visiting here on a tourist visa. I know the priority dates are like 10-12 years for the siblings cateogary but I still want to ahead and file for him .

My question is that we need his and mine birth certificates to show our relationship as brothers having same parents. He has his but I don't have my BC. Does a copy of my old old passport from India where we have both the parents names fulfil this requirement? Or do I have to go all the way back to India to get a non-availability certificate of birth which I know USCIS accepts? The US passport or Naturalization certificate do not have parents names mentioned. Although I am sure that the government has it somewhere on file. So how do I prove the relationship ?

3) School Leaving Certificate

Do You mean all 3? Copy of my expired Indian passport ?
