Hi everyone. I recently found this forum and it's a great source for help and information. Thanks everybody!
I have a couple of questions, hope you can help me.
My sister will soon become a US citizen, and plans to file an I-130 for me (brother). Once her petition is approved, which I understand can take about 4 months, can I move to the US while the visa proceedings follow their course? Can I work in the US?
Thanks a lot.

Nop. Approved I 130 won't give you any status or work permit. You have to wait about 10 -12 years to get the visa number available for you and then can complete the rest of the process. Ofcourse you can try for H1.

But it still is a non-immigrant visa? What I'm looking for is an immigrant visa.

For immigran visa thru your sister you have to wait. You can marry a USC and get immigrant visa. :rolleyes:
