Sponsoring green card for brother
I am a legal permanent resident for 14 years; I would like to know what I need to do to ask for my brother to become a permanent resident or green card. He’s here in U.S visiting me with his visa. He is 27 years old and not sure if I am eligible to request it.
You cannot petition for brother until you become a US Citizen. And, even after that, it takes over 10 years to get a green card. See family category 4 in the current visa bulletin: http://www.immigration.com/visa-bulletin
Rajiv is indeed an extraordinary lawyer, great strategist and very nice human being. He and his great team helped our family to stay together and live where we belong to. Got ridiculous case: U.S. citizen's wife's green card was denied because of technicality. Appeal was denied too but Rajiv and his team managed to convince the Service that this case must be approved. Special thanks go to Rajiv, Mark and Bill who were much more than just lawyers, who put many hours, sometimes even on weekends, to win this case for us.
