what priority date gonna be?

[faal4anisa 0]

I want to apply immigration I-130 Petition for Alien Relative for my brother who is in united state on G4 VISA. I like to know what his priority date will be. As he is legally working in US I had to apply the adjustment of status simultaneously with I-130. Kindly give me some information about his petition.

Looking forward for kind response. Thanks

I assume you are a US citizen. The priority date of your i130 petition will typically be the date USCIS receives it. Applying adjustment of status for your brother is 11-12 years away from now based on current visa bulletin and he has to maintain the legal status in US during those years if he likes to apply for AOS.

hi

no he cannot adjust status now, since the wait for sibling petitions is very long, close to 12 years

so he would have to work legally and be legally in the country for over 12 years, until his priority date becomes current,

the priority date is around the day that immigration receives the i130 and it freezes

if he cannot be legal all that time, he must return to his country, wait there and go through consular processing

normally siblings don't adjust status in the US, unless they can maintain legal status all the time, or if they qualified under the 245i law that ended in 2001

if your brother is here legally with a work or student visa at the time that his priority date becomes current with your petition, then he can adjust status
