"Both of my siblings are living in the US albeit on different Visas but I believe they can apply for a Visa for me in around three years time (they have been living in the US for two years already)."     apparently the brother is not a citizen yet either, OP are you simply trying to find the quickest shortcut to get here ?

I didn't think so, but I did read a provision where they allow relatives (sibling included) to be petitioned if the UK citizen needed a relative to help with care during illness or so. 

Not that I know of but we are getting off subject.

No I havent had necessarily accurate information before but rather than wait until I did, I thought I would propose hypothetical scenarios. 

 

It is noted that this forum appears somewhat uptight so I will ensure to be 100% factual from here on in.

Just a quick clarification.

 

It is not time based, it is status based. Your siblings can file for only after they become US citizens. If for some reason their naturalization is denied or delayed (hope it doesn't) then they can't file for you.

Well the inaccurate information seems to be coming from one source.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I'm sure she would appreciate humour though. I was joking. 

I figured that---I was being tongue-in-cheek in my response.

If you want factual answers that will actually help you, better to stick with the facts of your present case rather than hypothetical scenarios...or "other perspectives",

Uptight - no, those of us here, did things the right way, headaches, heartaches and lots of time invested. we see lots of posts here from people trying to circumvent, cheat and subvert the system that we can be somewhat cynical. Be straight and upfront and you will get good advice, we will not help you try and "cheat" the system

Wow.  It's not you lying that has been the problem.  It's us uptight people trying to help you and having to figure out all your lies to find the truth that is the problem.  Wow.

I got knowledgeable and accurate responses to my hypothetical questions... 

Except that they are not relevant to the situation you're actually in.   So what was the point?

LPRs can sponsor adult children as long as they remain unmarried throughout the process. It's the F2B preference category: http://montagutandsobrallaw.com/?page_id=188

Because they are potentially likely future scenarios so I want to know all available information to me. That (to me) means asking questions from different perspectives. I can then plan my future accordingly. 

 

I don't understand how I have tried to cheat the US immigration system by asking questions from different perspectives. I'm fairly sure that whatever I ask on this forum does not influence anything to do with the actual visa process. 

 

Apologies for the wording of my questions but at no point did I lie.

OP mentioned looking for a wife (in this and his previous thread) so that's a no-go...
