Hi,

My wife just became US citizen. She is interested in starting the petition process for her family members ASAP. As a strating point, I am posting these questions:

What forms does she have to file?

She has to apply for her parents, one unmarried brother over 21 and two unmarried siblings under 21. So, should she start by applying for parents and file separate petitions for siblings OR let the parents file for their children once they become permanent residents?

Also, what supporting documents would she need to file for her parents? Would birth certificate alone be enough?

I-130 is the petition...

Each family member requires a petiton... Each family member is subject to different family classifications and length of time needed to wait for an available visa number dependant on class

YMMV

All she has to do is follow the instructions for the I-130 found in the USCIS web site. Each family member will need a separate I-130. Her parents' petitions and visas will be processed a lot faster than her siblings, so she should keep that in mind when making travel arrangements.
