Bringing Your Family to the US and the Immigration Process

1. Sibling Petition

Petitions to bring a sibling to the US can take 8–15 years.
People often don’t apply because of the long wait, but nothing will progress if no application is made.

Example: If you apply at age 35, you can get a Green Card at age 50. Still, it’s a valuable opportunity, even if it’s late.

2. DV Lottery (Green Card by Lottery)

One of the fastest and most sought-after methods.
Applications can only be submitted during specific dates.
If not approved by September 30, the right is lost, and you have to start from scratch the following year.
Waiting or delaying causes loss; if necessary, a “mandamus lawsuit” should be filed.

3. Errors in Form I-130 and Green Card Applications

The section on the form asking “Will the application be made inside or outside the US?” is very critical. Incorrect marking causes major problems.
All children (wherever they are) must be listed in the application. Omitting them causes serious problems.
Information must be entered completely and correctly.

4. Visa Center and Delays

If the file receives “documentarily qualified” approval (all documents and fees complete), the waiting period for the interview begins.
If the wait exceeds 6 months, it is necessary to seek help from a lawyer.

5. Citizenship (Naturalization)

To become a U.S. citizen:

You must be 18 years old,
You must have held a Green Card for at least 5 years (you can also apply after 4 years, 9 months, and 1 day).

6. Parent Sponsorship

It is also possible for a U.S. citizen to bring their mother to the U.S., which generally takes 1.5 years.

7. Birth Abroad for Children

If the child of a U.S. citizen is born outside the U.S.:

If the conditions are met, the child can become a U.S. citizen directly through the Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA).
f the conditions are not met, an I-130 application is filed for the child.
