family based green card petition Can a US Citizen Petition for his/her half brother?

[Gatina 0]

Hello,

I have very unique case and I need to find someone who had similar case as me. I am a 46 years old US Citizen I was originally born in Brazil and I have half brother that I want to bring to the US to live with me,however when I was born our biological mother abandoned me and I was adopted  at 5 months of age. The problem is my biological mother never recognized me as her child and she have already passed away few months ago.

 

My half brother who I been in contact for few years and I love very much don't have any prove of relationship on documents. Is that possible to request a DNA of relationship to do Petition? He is my only biological sibling, and I really want him to be near me.

Thank's in advance

  If you were adopted officially then you are no longer legally related.  IF you were raised by another family without being adopted then you still are considered related  (  unless your half sibling was adopted by the same people )
