We (me and my wife) became US Citizen recently. We are from India originally. We plan to sponsor eligible member of our families for family based green card.

I have a dilemma for my younger brother and sister. Both of them are over 21 and unmarried. Both of them are also in computer field and will be trying for F1 or H1B visa in near future.


My question is if I sponsor them for Green Card, will that create any problem when they apply for student visa (F1) or work visa (H1B) . Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated.

Firstly understand that sponsoring green cards for siblings can take several years for the process to complete since it is based on quotas and siblings get lower priority in the processing order.

Second, my filing for a green card application you would have declared immigrant intent which is contrary to the non-immigrant intent of F-1 and H1B visas. Those types of visas might be denied as a result.

1. Start your own thread when you have new questions.
2. Yes, you can petition for a brother, as long as you are at least 21 years old. However I understand it will take years.
