Can my parents (would be GC holder) sponsor my 18yo brother

[fuzzybunny123 1]

I am a USC, in the process of sponsoring my parents to come here. Their plan is once they get their green card they will sponsor my brother who is currently 18 year old and studying in the US as an international student. Would that be possible and how long would it take? My parent doesnt speak English and would not have any income in the US, they do have some rental properties in the home country.

 

Thank you

F2A category is no longer current. Since your parents are not LPRs yet, I expect it will take at least 10 years if he does not age out. 15 if he does age out.
