Bringing a brother to the statds

[emil9710 1]

hello everybody!

I was wondering if I can bring my brother who's 23 years old to live in the states, I got the US citizenship recently after three years of living here based on marriage to a US citizen. i want one of my family members to live here, and my brother is willing to immigrate, I have no clue what to do, am not even sure if am publishing this in the right section.

I thank everybody in advance for any helpful answers and hope you all best luck with your journey:)

As a US citizen, you can sponsor your sibling (brother) to immigrate to the US.

Two guides to get you started: http://www.visajourney.com/content/ussib

But be mindful that the timeline for sibling immigration is well over 10 years.

The question is not as much if he is willing to immigrate to the US (there are thousands of people who are willing to immigrate), but rather if the US is willing to let him immigrate. It will potentially be a very long and onerous process. To start, see here http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/types/family/family-preference.html, Family Fourth Preference (F4).

It will take a long time for your brother to immigrate to the U.S. if you petition him.
