Hi All,

I am an USC and have filed for my mother's GC (i-130 approved, NVC in progress).

Question:

Should i file for my brother who is > 21 years and married?

Should i wait for my mother to receive GC and she files for my brother (her son)?

I have been debating about this for a long time and just stumbled upon USCIS website quote that Permanent residents can't file for their Married Son/Daughter.....

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks,

G

Yes, you should probably file for him. Your mother can petition for him once she's a US Citizen so that would be quite a number of years away.
