Hi everyone,

I have a few questions. My brother from Mexico finally has his case (F1 Category) current as per Visa Bulletin of September 2014. He already has a legit social security number, and work permit that he can continue to renew it as many times as he wants. He qualified for these benefits even before his case became current (Feb 1994).

However, he still doesn't have the green card. Now that he is case is current because immigration is processing visas before June 1994, what is the next step?

Does he qualify for a visa right away?

Does he need to submit a special type of application?

Would immigration contact him because his case is current?

So what's next now?

Is he already present in the US? If so, on what visa did he enter, has his status expired, and how does he have a renewable work permit?
