How can i get or apply for green card?

[utto 0]

I was unmarried son under 21 ..I will be on my 21 this September on 2008. I was an student with F1 visa in the US.

My mom and dad both got Green Card. My sister was an citizen.

Are there any ways to help me to apply for green card as soon as possible? What form should i file out?

Another case is my sister and brother from vietnam. What form should they or my parents file out?

Thank you very much ..I really appreciate that ..

Two options:

If one of your parents is a US citizen, and the marriage happened before your 18th birthday, then you should be able to adjust status based on your US citizen Parent/Step parent being able to file an I-130 for you and an immediate visa being available for you.

If this is not the case then you cannot adjust status, and your biological parent will need to file an I-130, and you will have to wait for a visa number to come up and then interview at the US consulate in your home country for a IR-Visa.

Only other option is for you to marry a US citizen.

Parents file I-130 for your siblings.

I was petitioned by my sister but in those days (yes, it was long ago) it just took months - the current wait for people from India in the brother/sister category is about 15 years (I am told).

Second that, my mom was petitioned by my uncle (USCitizen). Right now the wait for Mexican citizens, siblings of a US Citizen is long. To give you an idea, my mom was petitioned on 2001, she received her acceptance letter on 2005 but she still has to wait a couple of more years. As of right now, they are giving visas to people from MX who submitted their paperwork on 1994. 14 yrs of wait time Therefore, I'm applying for citizenship on 2011 and petitioning her as soon as I can

Marry a US Citizen (no limited # of visas for spouses), ask your mom or dad to apply for citizenship (doesn't take as long as it takes for siblings)
