He can only file an I-130 for his sister, provided he is a US citizen. The spouse and minor children will be derivative beneficiaries; no I-130 needed.

If no I-130 was filed, then no. Best thing is for her to file for an I-130 under FB2B, and for you to file for your brother under FB4 to preserve the priority date if he marries.

Solve the real problem, which is his language skills.

Silly question, but he's had a GC for 30 years. Why not just file the N-400, unless there's some specific reason why not to, like criminal activity?

I wouldn't go that far. I don't see how his marital status would have affected his N-400.

Yes, but it won't be a visa stamp. It will just be a copy of the same stamp on the I-94. She just gets an I-94. For re-entry, she needs a copy of your I-797, a copy of the marriage certificate and a copy of your I-94. She needs to file an I-539 extending her H-4 status. It should be filed...

If the original H-1B was not cap exempt and you have not been outside the US for a year, you can claim cap exemption on your new H1B. I'd also ask the employer to start the GC process if your plans are to remain in the US long-term.

This could be interesting. If CBP processed the I-94 they will consider her out of the US, which means that the I-485 will be denied - they will assume she is no longer physically present, or she entered without inspection.

If he's legally in the US and eligible, then he can file an Folllow-To-Join AOS once the mother enters the US, or he can appear at the interview in India. How old is he?

Ugly. Was an I-94 issued?

Since Obamacare's penalties are (IIRC) in the form of taxes, they apply to everyone who is a tax resident.

For the lottery, once the fiscal year is over it is impossible for the spouse and children to enter the US without being sponsored under FB2.

File an I-130. There will be an approximately 12 year wait for a visa to become available.

The most you will need is to provide proof of legal status since the last entry to the US prior to the I-485 filing.

How old are you?

You can file an I-130 for her, but there may be a wait until a visa becomes available. Right now the delay is 90-120 days, but that could get longer.

You do not apply for anything. She does.

They have a record of your entrance, with no exit record. As far as they are concerned you have overstayed until proven otherwise when you attempt to return.

Almost certainly. They have a record of your entrance, and they other have a record of your exit (in which case they know you overstayed), or they don't. But since you are interviewing outside the US, the consular officer can request proof of your departure date from the US. Please tell me you...

USCIS could not unless they had the SS-5 where the alien made a false claim to US citizenship under penalty of perjury. They can't revoke citizenship because some clerk mistyped things into a computer. You need to stop worrying.
