*** I'd like get information on this as well - this is really something that needs to be addressed ***

My brother who is a USC petitioned for my Mom & Dad back on 3/1/2010 & got a NOA of I-130 dated 6/28/2010. I spoke with the NVC agents and was advised that my brother who was also listed on the Initial I-130 would not be able to travel with either parents to the USA even though he has no immediate reletives living in Jamaica. Well, it is the understanding that My Brother (USC) shoud have petetioned for my brother on a seperate I-130 and thou it would take the 8-10 yeard - currently for such a category, the applicants (Mom & Dad) could ask the CO for a waiver to pardon their son to "tag-along." I Spoke with an Immigration Lawyer that i have met through a friend and who says : 1 - My brother can file the I-130 for him (slowest) 2- My Mom/Dad can do the same which would be about 1 1/2 yrs (ok) or 3- which he recommends, seeing if my 14 year brother will be able to migrate for humanitarian reasons (which might be the best option).

*** Should there be any other comments - this we would definately appreciate it ***

unfortunatly just because she is listed in your mom's petition doesn't mean she was petitioned, she can't come. petition for siblings are separate.

is she prepared to leave your sister behind? it will take more than 2 years to come once your mom is a LPR. she can file for her as soon ss she gets her GC.

I agree with aleful. If you are a US citizen and you petitioned for your mom, your mom is considered an Immediate Relative (no long waiting period) and as an Immediate Relative, she is not allowed to have derivative beneficiaries (children or spouse) to accompany her, even if your little sister was named in the petition. Compare this to a green card holder parent petitioning for an unmarried son/daughter (F2B) who has kids (who are the USC petitioner's grandkids). The GC daughter/son can bring the kids. Another scenario would be a US citizen petitioning for a married son/daughter over 21. The married child is not classified as an Immediate Relative ( belongs instead in F3 Preference Category) and can bring his/her own kids with her/him.

Those who are classified as Immediate Relatives cannot bring kids with them. Immediate Relatives are:

Parents of US citizens

Unmarried Children under 21 years old of US citizens

Spouses of US citizens

The advantage of being an Immediate Relative is that you don't have to wait too long for a visa to become available. You can immigrate to the US in less than a year in most cases. The disadvantage is that if you are an Immediate Relative, you can only immigrate alone and cannot bring your kids with you. You have to wait to receive your greencard to start the process of petitioning for your kids yourself when you are already in the US.
