sponsering parents and brother

[texas_1628]

Hello,
I have searched the web around but I am unable to find the answers to my questions so I thought to post a thread here...I would really appreciate if someone ca help me out...
My questions are;

1: I have just become a US citizen and want to sponser my parents...Can somebody tell me what is the total approximate fee for sponsering? I mean how much would it cost me in total?

2: If I am sponsering my parents, can I sponser my brother at the same time as well, or is it like I can only sponser one or the other at one time?

3: If I can sponser my brother at the same time as my parents, then about how long would the process take? I mean I know it takes about a year these days if I sponser just my parents, but would it take longer if I am sponsering for my brother as well?

4: If my parents come to visit me on a visit visa and I sponser them while they r here, then can they get there status changed so that they will be eligable to work? Would me brother be able to work?

Plz if someone have any info for my questions, then let me know...
Thanks in advance...

A USC can sponsor any number of "immediate relatives" as long as he/she can meet the minimum income requirements.

3: If I can sponser my brother at the same time as my parents, then about how long would the process take? I mean I know it takes about a year these days if I sponser just my parents, but would it take longer if I am sponsering for my brother as well?
12-23 years for siblings (depends on their nationality). Look here http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2771.html

Yes, your parents can work if they have an approved EAD. Your brother has a long time to go.

Plz if someone have any info for my questions, then let me know...
