Form DS-7656, Affidavit of Relationship (AOR)

[Amhara 460]

Hello everyone,

 

He's the skinny - please be nosey! - My husband arrived November of 2015.  We won't be doing his ROC until the end of this year, so he may not be getting his US citizenship until late 2018 to early 2019.  However, his brother and his family (wife and four kids) arrived in the US August of 2015 on SIV (special immigrant visa for Afghan-US interpreters), which designates my brother-in-law and his family as refugees.  (We live in the same home, but for clarity, I will say they are a different "household".)

 

So, I say all that to say, we now want to bring mom over.  Right now, she is not living in the family's home in the village and the family is pretty scattered.  I was wondering if anyone here has any input on a Form DS-7656, Affidavit of Relationship (AOR) for mom under brother-in-law's green card?  If she were to qualify, that would make her priority three - any opinion on how long that may take or where I could find reliable info?

Hello,

I know you can bring your immediate family member with a green card but it is going take twice as long. I know a family with green cards brought their three kids under 21 and it took about two years I think.
