I am a US citizen. Can I sponsor my niece who is 8 years old and nephew who is 4?

Mr. Khanna was a great help in me understanding the intricacies of the immigration law, with a legal situtation I had. Based on his guidance I got my Green Card a while ago and was able to plan on handling my legal situation. Thanks Mr. Khanna
Thank you Rajiv for the extra ordinary service to the immigration community and always ready to help. Rajiv's advice and immigrationportal.com have been super valuable at times when things are confusing with ever changing and arcane rules.

Thank you. regards, vinod
