Hello VJ friends, hope you are all having a wonderful day. I just got naturalized yesterday. Now I am interested in bringing my family from Egypt to USA. I have a mother and a brother. My dad passed away. I was wondering what is the fastest way to bring my family from overseas here to USA, I have some questions if some of you friends can help me with:

1- What application do I do for my mom and what Application do I do for my brother.

2- My family have Visitor visa, they visit me once a year. Now that i am citizen can they visit me and stay here and then i apply for AOS ? for my brother and my mother

3- I heard for brother it might take some years, so would it be faster for him to do asylum versus wait for me to apply for him ? maybe he can come on travel visa and then AOS to asylum. i am not sure if that is even possible because i am not that experienced.

Thank you so sooo much in advance and hope you all have a blessed day and week.

2. that is visa fraud

 

3. visa fraud

I see ! that makes sense. Do you know what is difference in time line for Asylum application vs I 130 application ? or time line for I 130 for brother vs I 130 for mother ?

thank you so much for your prompt response and help!

1.  I-130s for each

2.  No. That is fraud.

3.  Visa Fraud.

I see ! ... what if my family comes visits me for 6 months or so on their visitor visa, like they usually do every year. Can I apply for their form I 130 maybe even a combined form I-130/I-485 while they are here ?

So visa fraud.

No.  They cannot enter the US as visitors with the intent to stay and file an I-485.  That is visa fraud.  You can file an I-130 for each of them right now to start the visa process.  But it will be a couple years for your mom, and it will be 15+ years for your brother to immigrate through you.

  That ship has sailed in your case.  The option is to file an I-130 for each of them to apply via consular processing.  No other discussion is even allowed here on Visa Journey.  Good luck.
