Hi,

I petitioned my parents and included my brother because my mom is in the wheelchair and my dad is weak (in his 70's). Will this allow my brother to go together with my parents or will his process takes longer? Help!

Your brother can attend the interview with them to help, but he cannot get a visa at the same time, his waiting time is another decade or more. Needing a caregiver is not a reason to jump ahead.

Your Parents do not have to wait for a visa number, your brother does, his will be something over 20 years so he will not be coming with them.

That wait for the sibling category from the Philippines is 20+ years. He will not get preference because a parent is in a wheelchair.

Check with the Consulate but he should be able to help them go to their interviews. Pretty sure I have seen other examples where they have let people in.

 

Practicalities of immigrating to the US at that age with medical issues is another matter.

For your brother I believe the waiting time will be about +12 years.

I don't think your parents health will have any impact on his petition.

They are older and not well so it could.

What I meant is if it is okay for him to go have same time with my parents when they go here because he will be the primary caregiver to my mom when they get here since I will be working.

Did you petition your brother if so when, takes a very long time for brothers.

I sent the petition for my parents and my brother all together. Hoping they can help me out because I cannot afford to get a separate caregiver.

Your parents health issues alone will not lead to a visa denial, but with elderly parents or those with health issues, you may be asked to prove you can pay for their health insurance and a medically qualified caregiver as needed, over and above the I-864.
