    US citizen parents sponsoring over 21 son..

    ok, that changes things. I'm not familiar with the details of the DORA program (there are posts here that detail it better) that covers the dallas area, but I believe that you have an immediate interview the day you turn in your packet.

    My brother needs help!!!

    yes, absolutely. one can have multiple petitions filed on their behalf. at the very least you should have both of your parents file for him as in the event of death a case cannot be transfered from a deceased parent to the surviving one.

    My brother needs help!!!

    he should go back home to ecuador and wait for his PD to become current after his parents and you file an I-130. which could take up to 10 years. unless currently there is something similar in the law like the 245(i) he cannot overstay his tourist visa.

    Father/Son relationship

    I'm an adult and my interview notice stated that my petitioner had to be present (father). good thing he was there because they had lost my I-130 and we had to fill a new one out at the IO's desk. don't take any chances, take your parent with you.
