Hello friends, I'm asking for your help again. I asked about this similarly a while back and got some great advice. Unfortunately the situation has gotten worse for my mother-in-law and brother-in-law. My wife is originally from Brazil and came here on a K-1, we've been married for 12 years now and she became a USC 3 years ago. We're trying to see if there is anything that we can do for her mom and brother. Long story short, her mom is in an abusive relationship and her brother usually gets the physical end as he has to defend his mother. He tried to commit suicide in November and was unsuccessful, thank God, but honestly has no remorse from it. Everyone is afraid that he might try to do it again. We're looking for a way out of the house and the relationship but I was wondering if there was any way to bring them here that doesn't take decades to do. I'm open to any and all advice and I appreciate everyone's response. Thank you!

No, not medical. I agree with you though given the timelines that this isn't really practical. Thanks everyone so much for all of the information, I appreciate it!

So if we petition her parents and they get approved and come here, can they stay in Brazil while petitioning for her brother? He is very dependent on them.

He will be 30 this year, he is unmarried.

Hello all, My wife has been in the US for 11 years now and became a USC last year. I am so appreciative of this forum and everyone on it as it helped us navigate the i129f petition process many years ago. Now that my wife is a USC I was curious what the process would be to bring her parents and brother to the US if they chose to come? From what I've been reading she should i130 for her parents and then once they arrive they can petition for her brother. Does that mean he would need to stay in Brazil by himself until the petition finished processing? Please let me know if there are any additional questions.
