I applied for my mom and currently waiting for an interview.  I read somewhere on NVC that after my mom's interview she can request for a visa for my brother. Can someone explain this to me and what are the chances of it being approved. It's been almost 2 years since I applied for her. The process is so slow I just want both of them here already. Btw I did add my brothers name on the application.

Your brother will NOT be coming with your mother. Once your mother has a green card she can file a petition for your brother and depending on his age it will be in either F2A or F2B category (2 or 7+ years wait time). 

 

IR5 visas are currently not being processed due to the current EO.

As stated, he won't be coming, you read wrong that part, once she comes to the US she can apply for your brother

 

and it will take years depending on his age
