I have just received my US citizenship and want to bring my parents and siblings to live with me.
1. My parents have 5 years of multiple visa which they have been using since 2005. If I apply permanent residency for them, is that visa going to be void?
Do they need to wait until they hear back from the local US consulate office as a response of my application? In the mean time, is there any way they can continue to visit us? I heard that it doesn't take too long to sponsor one's parents. Can you give me an approximate time frame?
2. I have a brother and a sister. Both of them are older than 21 years.
My brother is still unmarried and is planning to go for higher studies in US. If he gets admission to a university in US and apply for F-1 visa is this going to cause any problem for him to receive the visa since I have already applied for him?
3. My sister is married and currently persuing her Phd in a US university. Her husband lives outside of US. She is on F1 status. If I apply for her now, is this going to cause any impact on her current F-1 status?
She is planning to look for a job once she is done and may have to apply for H-1 visa via a company who can offer her a job. Is my application going to cause any issue to take that step?
Since we know that it takes about 15+ years to sponsor a sibling these days, if she tries to sponsor her Geen Card on her own, is that going to be possible? Considering the fact that I already applied for her permanent residency?
4. If my parents (after receiving their permanent residency) apply for my siblings, are those application processing times going to be faster than if I apply for them as a sibling (Considering their ages and marital status).
Thanks for your helps in advance.
