I am 28, citizen of the U.S. I have a brother, 16 and a sister 7. I want to file a petition for them but it takes too long. So I want to file a petition for my father (mom died last year). If I file a petition for him, do I have to include my brother and my sister or can I wait for him to get his green card so he can apply for them?

What would be the best way to do it?

I want all of them to come and live with me. They are actually here, still legally, going back and forth every 90 days, but Immigration is going to catch up with that soon...what can I do?

What would be the shortest way to do it?

File for your brother and sister. In 11 years, when their priority date becomes current, file for your father, and they will all come over together.

Filing for your father won't make it any faster, because siblings cannot be included as derivative beneficiaries with your father. You have to file for them separately anyway and wait out the 11 years.
 
Hi,
You must file the following items with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services:

* Form I-130 Petition for an Alien Relative
* Your birth certificate (copy) showing the names of you and your father
* Your Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship (copy) if you were not born in the United States.
* A copy of your brother's or sister's birth certificate showing your father's name.
* Evidence that you and /or your brother or sister were legitimated before reaching the age of 18 through the marriage of your brother's or sister's natural parents, the laws of your brother's or sister's country, or the laws of your father's country.

wish you best of good luck
 
You have just admitted on a public forum that your father and siblings are knowingly violating US immigration law and "living" in the US.

How are your siblings getting their educations? If your father is unable to care for them, you will not lose your citizenship by relocating to their country until you need to return to the US to complete their immigration.

If they're entering via legal channels without lying or using fake documents, and they're not working or studying in the US, and they consistently leave before their I-94 expires, they're not violating the law. Their behavior indicates the likelihood of violating the law in the future, and they may be refused entry or denied a new visa because of that, but the travel patterns alone don't mean they're violating the law.
 
You can file for your dad to be USC. I am not sure if minor children can join or not. One would assume that they should be able to join you but I am not an expert on this. Your dad's process should take less than a year I am guessing.
