Bringing siblings and mother to the US

[diane79 14]

Hello

 

I'm going to start the process to bring my siblings and my mom to the US. I have a couple of questions

1- do I need to file different application for each member?

2- I need to send birth certificates to prove my relationship with my siblings, they need to be translated from Spanish. can I do the translation or does it need to be an official one (done by an accredited translation agency). I'm asking this bc i translated my own birth certificatye when I did the AOS for my K1 visa, so I was wondering if this will be still something that i can do, and save some money

Thank you in advance for your help

 

Jennifer

1. Yes - each sibling you want to petition needs a separate petition, same for mother. Siblings will take 15+ years until visa in hand, mother around 1-2 years. 

2. unless your country issues international birth certificate you’ll want it translated even if you translate it yourself

You can translate it yourself, but you must include the following statement on each document:

How old are your siblings? Depending on their age it will be faster for your mom to migrate to the US first, and mom then sponsors them instead. Otherwise, you are looking at 15+ years if you sponsor your siblings.

Only faster if siblings are and remain unmarried throughout the process.
