I-130 Thru GC mom or Thru US Brother?

[#1Chicago]

Which is the best way to petition for my overseas brother:

A) Through me as a US citizen, or
B) Through my mom whom she's a GC holder?

Can both of us petition for my brother separetely ( submitting
two 1-130 for the same person at the same time) ?

The other question I have: The application 1-130 says that
the original alien registration receipt card ( Form I-151) and
the original Certificate of Naturalization must be submitted
along with the I-130 application. Is there anyway around that?
I mean submitting a photocopy.

Thanks for your help.

Your mum, his mother should apply for I130. Approval time varies depending on the category (under 21, over 21, married vs. single). Once approved, when you mum becomes a citizen, the category will be upgraded. In summary your mum's petition most likely be faster route. You, USC can still send out a dual petition, just have to check the box to say "yes" to " do you have other immgrant petitions pending?"

You can submit with a copy of either your GC or your cert of naturalization.
