To immigrate, as a permanent resident, not possible.

 

Edit: I was specifically referring to whether a permanent resident is able to bring a sibling/nephew.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but as an immigrant she can get her son here but not the brother until after she becomes citizen. You and your wife could send her brother a letter and your pay stubs if both of you r working to him for him to apply for a visitor visa to visit the United states. That's what I did for my wife's sister and she got the Visa to visit.

It sounds like the son is her nephew or "his" son.

hi

 

exactly. only USC can file for siblings and it takes a very long time, so her nephew might not even be able to come, depending on his age and country of origin

Investment, work are the two common routes.

For your wife to bring them, she needs to become a US citizen first. Then it's about a 15-30 year wait depending on country before a visa number becomes available to a sibling and their derivatives.

Other immigration paths exists outside of your wife, but those would depend on their specific circumstances if they are possible. None of them are easy (or else a hole lot more people would be doing it). Examples include work visas, investment visas (if they are very well off), diversity visa, etc.

Thank you all for the kind responses.  This definitely helps me as I figured it would take many years.  We will tell her brother to try the work visa route.
