My wife became USC today :cool:and we are preparing to file I-130 for her parents and her brother who is 20 years old. I just began to research on their cases, still lots of reading to do and there is a ton of useful info in this forum.

I have one question after reading through 10+ pages of this forum, will my wife's brother join his parents in immigrating to the US? Or he will have to wait on his own category?

Thanks a lot for the help.
 
He must be under 21 on the date of interview and date of entry to the US, it seems very tight since he is already 20.when will he turn 21.
Although parents of USC don't get derivatives.

I googled around, it seems that the answer is not very good. Can anyone in similiar situation share his/her experience please?

Unfortunately, there are no derivative beneficiaries of immediate relative petitions. This means that your adult U.S. citizen son's petitions for you and your husband (I hope he filed one petition each for you and your husband!) do not allow for derivative children or spouses to accompany the principle beneficiary. This becomes especially problematic in your instance, where you will not be allowed to bring your 15 year old daughter with you as a resident. You must try to find an alternative visa for your daughter.

Incorrect. No derivative beneficiary benefit for immediate relatives of USC. The best way to go about it would be to sponsor parents first, and when they become LPR, they can sponsor the brother in F2A or F2B category.
