Aloha everyone!

I just need some help. I am in the middle of getting my parents here in Hawaii and I just send AOS package today for my parents along with the supporting documents. My problem is, my brother (19 y/o) is already approved with my petition he also have Case Number, Invoice and Beneficiary number. I called NVC plenty times and ask them why I cant pay his AOS its just because there is no Visa available. I have ask some immigration attorney and they suggest that when my parents have their Interview they will bring my brother with them so they can give them the Visa. I need some help if anyone here had tried my case and if you could help me what to do?

If there is no visa number available yet for your brother, him going to the interview at the embassy with your parents won't change that.

Presumably you've filed a separate I-130 for your brother, since immediate relative petitions do not permit derivative beneficiaries.

He would need to wait until his priority date became current before he could receive a visa. It may be faster to have one of his parents file for him under the F2A preference after they use their immigrant visas, depending on when exactly you filed for your brother and what his priority date is.

Your brother will have to wait 20+ years from the approval date of the petition that you filed for a visa number to be available.

Your parents can file for him once they arrive. That wait may be shorter.

The above is correct; the wait time for an F4 beneficiary from the Philippines is approximately 24 years. It will certainly be faster for one of your parents to petition your brother after they become LPRs, even if he ages out from F2A to F2B.
