To Sponsor My Brother

[ZSwarna]

Hello Everyone,
I recently got my Green card approved.I would like to sponsor my brother who is on a H1B visa here in US. Is it possible and any idea on how long will it take? Also, can we sponsor only one sibling ,since 'm also planning to sponsor my parents after I get my citizenship.Thank you for your advice

It will take years

go to state department website and check the current visa date for your categary. after the immigration visa is approved, it will take another year or so to get throught the AOS.
If he has a higher education degree (PHD is better than Master), he probably will get the green card through work much faster than you file for him.

You can only sponsor a sibling (via FB4) once you become a citizen. That means waiting 5 years, then after the I-130 is filed it will be 15-20 years before his priority date becomes current.

RealCanadian, so basically a USC can sponsor a brother to Adjust his status while the brother is living in the US? Right?
