hello a question

If my sister is an american citizen how many brothers and sisters can she take to live to US? if there is a limit?

If she brings a brother, does it interfers if she adds another sister petition, I mean in the processing time.

thanks

She can petition every sibling she has, but the wait for a visa is around 10 years for sibling category. Good luck.

She must file a separate petition for each sibling and show that she has the means to support her household plus all immigrants she is sponsoring.

She can petition for as many siblings as she wants, she is only limited by the 125% poverty limit for her household (unless she can find a co-sponsor for each of them). Petitioning for more will not slow down the process.

You can petition for all full and half siblings and most step ( there is something about the you age when stepness occurred and I am not sure if their matters ) The petition is the same time , 10 years in most places , 20 plus in the worse. You must be able to sponsor all siblings and their families. My husband has 21 siblings , luckly not all are interested.

Thanks to the answers, But more ore less for how much time does she need to support each brother and sister? , how much money/monthly ?

One brother 34 years and the other 45 years old.

Thanks again guys.

How much she needs to make depends on how many people in her household (husband, kids, other dependants), plus the siblings she is petitioning. For example if there is her+ spouse+ two kids+ brother+ sister= 6 people in the household. As per the guideline here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf she would need to make $37'487.

Do they have wives and children who intend to immigrate with them?

the brother is single and the sister has 2 sons one 24 , and 15 years old. (but just one depends on the mother).

So assuming in 10 years the brother is still single and the sister hasn't had more kids , She need to support her family ( any husband and kids she has ) The brother, the sister, and the sisters husband. The current kids will all be adults and not part of the sibling visa process.
