he can't yet. he has to be a USC to file for parents or siblings. once he becomes a US Citizen, he can apply for each one of them.

how old are his brothers and sisters?

Hey Thanks for the reply...His brother is almost 30.. Do they need to be under 21?

if i understand correctly.. he can petition parents first.. after he is USC.. THEN when they become USC (several years later).. they can petition for the other son..

i could be wrong.. BUT that is how i have read/understood it..

Once he becomes a US citizen, he can petition for as many qualifying relative that he wants - he can petition his parents, his brothers, his sisters, etc.

The petitions for his parents would be Immediate Relative cases. IR cases take about 6-12 months to complete.

The petitions for his brothers and sisters would be in the F4 family preference category. These cases take about 11-12 years to complete.

As LPRs, his parents can petition for their unmarried children - F2a category for those unmarried children under 21 and the F2b category for those unmarried children over 21. They cannot petition for married children. Children who get marry while the parents are LPRs will void their petitions. For F2a, it takes about 3 years to complete the process. For F2b, it takes about 8 years.

A beneficiary can have more than one petition - the OP's US citizen husband can file for his brother, and an LPR parent can file for the same person as his/her unmarried child.
