Thanks....

There's no dumb questions, that's how we learn. To ask. Research. Read.

Basic rule? the important things are this:

-You need to be a US citizen to petition parents and siblings. If you are only LPR you can only petition your spouse and children, can't petition parents or siblings.

-Support (Income is 125% Poverty Guidelines)

-Evidence (Supporting documents)

That's it. And yeah, follow the steps by steps guide in filing I-130.

And Yes, I am a US Citizen. :yes:
