Hi,

Thank you for reading my post, I would really appreciate if you take some time to read and help to do the process successfully. My mother who is coming to USA on May 9th 2014 to the USA with Green Card since I applied for her.

Now I have a younger brother who is only 20years old. My idea is that if my mother applies with her green card , my younger brother can get here sooner. Now ,

1. how to apply for my younger brother since my mother will apply ?

2. what are the documents my mother need to submit in order submit petition (apply) for my younger brother ?

3. since ,he is 20 years old now, how long it might take for him to get approval and visa ?

4. Does my mother need to submit birth certificate of my younger brother with the application ?

Please , help to answer these question. Knowledge is like light , the more you spread the better every body gets result of it.

Thanks.

Nad.

hi

it's the same process that you applied with your mom, she will file the i130

yes, she needs copy of your brother's birth certificate with a translation into English

There is very little chance that your brother will not age out before his petition is approved and a visa number becomes available so he will most likely be the adult unmarried child of a lpr which will be about 8 years of waiting. When does your brother become 21 ?

You have to applied as soon as possible, and as the previous comment, you brother may age out, it depend how long the process will take. keep up posted, i am actually doing the same thing, but my brother has 17 years, and i an in process of getting my mother a green card.

i believe he can benefit from the CSPA if he ages out when a visa becomes available, like i did. But I'm not sure, check first so you don't waste money or time.

There is no way to check if CSPA will apply. The calculation can only be done when the PD becomes current.

Mom can petition. Son will age out. CSPA may help & no way to know when the I-130 is filed.
