Hello!

My Mother's Sister Filed Petition For Immigrant Visa In F4 Category For My Mother. Under "Following-to-Join Benefits" Paragraph On "Siblings" Page Of United States Department Of Immigration And Citizenship Website It Was Mentioned That;

"that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130 for your spouse and/or children. In addition, your spouse and/or children will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available. In this case, you may simply notify a U.S. consulate that you are a permanent resident so that your spouse and/or children can apply for an immigrant visa.


Your spouse and/or children may be eligible for following-to-join benefits if:

The relationship existed at the time you became a permanent resident and still exists, AND
You received an immigrant visa or adjusted status in a preference category

I Want To Ask, Would Me(33 Years Old) And My Younger Sister(23 Years Old) As Children Of My Mother Would Be Eligible To Apply For "Immigrant Visa" Immediately With My Mother And Father(Also A Beneficiary Of Immigrant Visa With My Mother).

Regards,
Ali Murtaza.
 
Your younger sister might be able join your mother, depending on the facts -- when was the petition filed? When was it approved? How many months ago did she turn 23?
