SIBLING VS CHILD

[shpylka 1]

Both my parents and I are naturalized US citizens and we would like to bring my brother and his family ( who are Ukrainian citizens) over to the US for permanent residence. Who should initiate the application process? Are there any differences or pros and cons between me inviting my brother as a sibling or my parents inviting him as a child?

Let your parent do the filing it will take about 7 years. If you do it, it will take 14 years.

Brother is married, so F3 and 12 years of waiting.

  Depending on your parents age / health  you may have an advantage.  Say your father files and he dies then the petition dies.   You are less apt to die statistically

Petition by your parents should be faster.  However, if you have the money, I would suggest you both file, just in case one or the other can no longer continue with the case.
