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.

How old is your brother? And if your brother wants to claim asylum, why did he not do that during one of his previous visits? 
what has changed now that makes him fear living in Egypt? 
you can file I-130 for your brother and mother. 
your mother should receive a visa interview in 1.5- 2 years. Then once she enters the US she can also file a I-130 for your brother. 
if he is under 18 he might be able to move to the US sooner…if he is over 21… he might want to consider remaining unmarried until he after he has moved to the US and obtained his GC. 

Either way this journey will not be fast.

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 ?

You've been told by SEVERAL people in this thread that this is visa fraud.  What is it you're not understanding?

The base of the asylum would be religious prosecution / religious racism. as christians where we live in egypt religious racism is rather common and alot of christians asylum out of the country to USA

But is your family’s life in dire danger because of this?
