Will my son be able to put in a petition for His mother and for his sibling who is 12 yrs old? He is 28 and a citizen of the USA.

@maneeshamukhi 3 жыл бұрын

@@sharminecampbellbrown3679 Yes he can sponsor his sibling but it takes a very long time to sponsor a sibling (it can take 10+ years). It might be faster for you to get your green card through your son and then you can sponsor your 12 yr old son as a green card holder. I would ask an attorney but I think that way might be faster (it would still take years )

Glad it was helpful! Yes, I'll be making videos for other family members soon. With siblings, the wait is very long if they are currently outside the U.S. It can take 10+ years to sponsor a sibling...but if you sponsor a parent and they (or one of them) get their green card, then they can sponsor an adult child if he/she is unmarried. That might be faster (depends on what country your sibling is born in)

Do your parents 1st. When they are here they can do the process for their kids. I know because my cousin did it for her parents. My grandpa did for his daughter and son in law. When my aunt and uncle came they later did it for their kids only 2 because 2 is married.

Hello. Thanks for the video. I have a few questions for you and need guidance. So I have applied for my mom and just received the NVC welcome email. My question is that since there’s a immigration ban in place at least until March 31, 2021 and probably the next administration will extend it, how is it possible to apply for a Visa? Will a Visa be issued by any embassy at this time? Also it is very difficult to travel due to the pandemic. My mom is in Iran and as you know, there is not a US Embassy in Iran and she has to go to Abu Dhabi in Emirates. There’s also travel visas to Emirates for Iranians at this time and a travel halt in place. Could you please advise how to move forward with the application. Should I wait to see what happens with the Immigration ban?
