Hello All!

A little less than a year ago, my husband and I completed the Spouse Visa and he has his green card! We are wondering if it possible to now apply for his brother, his brother's wife and their son to get residency in the United States? Has anyone done something similar? Do you know the process and likelihood of this to be successful? Any advice would be extremely appreciated!

Thanks,

K

Your husband can wait for citizenship then petition for the brother and it takes like 20 years. Look up F4 visa.

^^and I would add that for the son it is age dependent and he may not be eligible to receive a visa

hi

as said, only USC can file for siblings, once he has the Citizenship certificate he can file for them and then forget about the petition
