Yes I want to adopt my neice cause she will be 28 when the visa gets approved. She’ll be left behind. And yes, I want all my siblings and their families to be here. Thanks for the recommendation, I will consult with an immigration lawyer.

I can’t believe it’s 20+ years waiting. This is just frustrating. I’m having my sister (31) go back to school for nursing so maybe she can apply to work here instead of waiting. And for my brother’s case, they have a back up plan after I told them the situation. His wife is a teacher and will apply through her profession. My 2 nephews will be in college this yr and next year, one will take nursing and the other one will be medtech. My sister’s daughter is 8 years old, I was planning to adopt her, I’ve read about adopting relatives must be under 16 yrs old but the question is, will I need to live in the Philippines for 2 years before I can adopt her? I mean this does not make sense. thank you all for the response

Hello all, I desperately need advice. This is my first time filing for I-130 for my married brother and also married sister (Filed for both of them on March 2022). I misunderstood the I-130 process, I thought that once my brother's I-130 is approved, his sons and wife are automatically approved as well. I did not know that the wife and the sons each need to have their own I-130 filed by my brother once he will be here. Now my problem is that, my brother is from Philippines, so the I-130 timeline will be more than 10 years and once that time comes, my nephews will be 26 and 27 years old. Is there a way that my brother's wife and nephews will be able to come at the same time? I appreciate your response.
