Sponsoring citizenship

[njdesi]

Recently I became citizen. My family members(brothers/sisters) are in other country. Can I apply/sponsor citizenship for them. If yes, please let me know the process and how long it takes.

Thanks for your help

You cannot sponsor citizenship for them. You can file I-130 petition for them now, wait few years for visa to become available and then file I-485 for them to get GreenCard.

Thank you both.

Be aware that it takes more than 10 years to obtain a green card in the brother/sister category. More than 20 years if they're from the Philippines.
