Me vs parents petitioning for siblings

[Hopeworld 1]

Guys...I'm so lost and don't know what to do.
I'm a US citizen and my goal is to get my 2 siblings (and parents) to live with me.

I thought, if I petition for my parents and they come, it will be quicker for them to petition for siblings.
I even thought after my parents come here, all 3 of us could petition for my siblings together so it will go faster. I believed a parent petitioning for a child is quicker than a sibling doing it.
But now I heard that because my sister and brother are both married (& have kids), my parents can't petition for them until my parents become citizen (which means we have to wait 5 years after my parents are approved and received their greencard).

I already have petitioned for my parents, the only thing left for me to send in is proof of my income and taxes and affidavit of support.

So I thought of some options:

OPTION A:
========
Me petitioning for siblings right now while finishing the petition for my parents simultaneously

OPTION B:
=========
My siblings getting a divorce. And when my parents get approved, me and my parents petition for my siblings (not their partners or children).
When my siblings get approved, they can re-marry a month before and petition for their spouse and children.

The first question is, what would allow my siblings to come quickest?
if I go with option A, do I need to show that I made enough money for my self, siblings parents AND their children.
if I go with option B, what if this loophole has been sealed and they might say you can't petition for your ex-spouse for what ever reason?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Indeed, your parents have to be citizens before they can petition for married children, and the wait for married children is almost as long as it is for siblings. So you petitioning for your siblings now will ultimately be the fastest way to get them here. No other shortcuts. Sorry...

This is immigration fraud, just as getting married for a green card is. Denial and a lifetime ban are the likely results. They will have to list all marriage and divorce dates so it would be blindingly obvious. 

(A month before what, anyway? They would stil have to be single when they entered, then remarry, then petition for spouse. Another 2 years or so. Single children can bring minor children as derivatives, that would not be an issue. But again, this entire route is fraudulent and could result in all of them getting a lifetime ban from the US.)

Also depending on how old the children of your siblings are they may age out and get left behind.

ok, you got me convinced me to skip option B!

[Hopeworld 1]

With option A, it's the question about how much income I need that is an issue.
Do I petition for my siblings, their spouses AND Children?

1. My brother

   2. His wife
   3. Currently 1 child  (1.5 years old)

 

4.  My sister

   5. Her husband

   6. Child 1  (8 years old)

   7. Child 2   (10 years old)

 

Question 1:

Do I petition for my siblings, their spouses AND Children? Or how many people do I need to petition for?

Question 2:

The section where it says "Add $5,600 for each additional person" in:   https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p
If my income is not enough, can I show a bank statement of how much my siblings have in their danish bank?
Not sure how this will be considered as proof as the amount in the bank is not a guarantee if you know what I mean.

Thank you !!!

They are in Denmark? Health coverage is much better in Denmark. If I was old & retire, I'd rather live in Denmark and come to visit to the US, stay a few months a year.

You file separate I-130 for each sibling; one I-130 for your brother and another I-130 for your sister.  The spouses and eligible children of each sibling would be derivative beneficiaries on their respective I-130.  

When the Priority Date becomes current in about 14 years, spouses and eligible children with CSPA age under 21 are eligible for immigration visas.  Since your sister's children are 8 and 10, they may age out and not be able to immigrate with their mother.  

 

Do not worry about the I-864.  That doesn't matter when you file the I-130.  The I-864 comes into play when their Priority Dates becomes current in about 14 years.  If your income and assets are not enough at that time, then you can use the intending immigrants' assets and Joint Sponsors.

Yes, it is your household plus the sibling(s) plus their households that all need to be sponsored that add up to the # of people calculated in the tables here https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . You only need to show that when they get to the point of getting their visas though, it’s not necessary to do now.

Again you don’t need to do this for a long time but if you look at the instructions on the I864 there is a section about using the assets of the intending immigrant, see page 9 part 7 https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr-pc.pdf

Really?  Isn't Denmark the happiest country in the world?  Why such a huge rush to bring them?

Siblings and their spouses could be playing DV lottery in the meantime.

Are you sure you’re from Denmark?

In 20 years whatever who knows if the children will be interested in moving to the US.

 

Assuming they are still eligible, unlikely with the oilder 2.

 

Anyway best if you want to is file and forget, see what the situation is much nearer the time.
