So my mom is a permanent resident and I think I read somewhere on this forum that she can petition for my dad and that by including my 2 under 21 brothers in the application 130 for my dad We could save on the 130 fee by paying only one fee for all 3...(130 stage that is, I know after that they will each have to pay a fee for the Consular stage)

Is that correct ?

Now this brings me to my most pressing question: my oldest lil brother is 18 and the youngest is 16.

What kind of supporting document do I need for them and do I need to include them in with my dad's petition or do those wait for the consular stage of the application?

I would have mom file for all three separately.

If you only file for dad, what happens if dad suddenly dies? Brothers can't immigrate and new petitions would be needed.

The extra fee is like insurance.

If mom only files for dad, she only need to list his kids. Their info will be needed at the NVC stage.

Another question I just thought of was about original versus photocopies of supporting documents such as birth certificates and marriage certificates and such for the form I-130.

The reason I ask is because I have copies scanned and saved on a hard drive and I can just print however many copies they need and they are recently dated.

I know sometimes immigration may specify if they need the originals, but I've heard they are doing away with asking for original until an interview. Is that legit or just a fame rumor?
