Hi. My wife has a green card. Still under 2 years and i’d like to know the correct way to apply for her brother to come to live in the usa. 

Do i apply for him or does she? Or do we do together. 

Any help apreciated from anyone who has done it. I thank you in advance. 

I used the site before when doing the K1 and was very helpful.

Once she becomes a US citizen, she can petition him. Expect ~15-25 years from that point to interview, assuming the category still exists.

You cannot petition for an in-law.

Going to be a couple of years before she becomes a citizen and petition for him, these sort of generational timelines can be difficult to assess but 2040 ish?

You can not apply for an in-law.

 

Your wife can petition for her brother once she becomes a US citizen.  The current wait is 13 years.
