Hello everybody,

 

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek your professional guidance and expertise regarding an important immigration matter concerning my family.

 

I was born in California in 2001 to immigrant parents. When I was just two years old, my parents decided to return to Mexico, and they have not set foot in the United States since then. However, I came back to the US when I turned 15 and have recently graduated from college. Currently, I am 22 years old.

 

I have two younger brothers, aged 20 and 18, respectively. They have no criminal record, are unmarried, and do not have any children. They share a strong desire to continue their education, and I am keen to explore the possibility of assisting them in obtaining legal documentation to enter the United States.

 

As it stands, my parents are not legally married; they have only a cultural marriage. Furthermore, they separated recently and have not returned to the US in approximately 20 years. My mother works as a cook, while my father is engaged in a merchant profession in Mexico.

 

I would greatly appreciate your expert advice on the current immigration laws and any changes that may have occurred since my last inquiry. In particular, I am interested in understanding if there exists a viable pathway for me to sponsor my brothers' immigration to the US, with a focus on facilitating their educational pursuits. While I am aware that turning 21 used to allow for sponsorship of parents under certain circumstances, my primary concern at this time is to explore options for my brothers.

 

Your professional insight into this matter would be immensely valuable to me and my family. I kindly request your assistance in assessing the possibilities and potential steps that could be taken to help my brothers obtain legal entry into the United States, allowing them to pursue their educational aspirations.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration. I eagerly await your response.

You start with I-130. It will not be fast for your siblings (F4 category) - 23+ years.

No quick way for your brothers to gain LPR status via F4.  Even if you applied for your parents, and 2+ years later they applied for your brothers under F2B, it is still 22+ years.  Your brothers can try for a student visa, but they need to show they will return after their schooling is completed.

 

Good Luck!

Everything I has seen with sibling sponsorship Mexico will be a lot longer than that, those numbers are if you had filed back in 2000 and a lot more people have joined the line since then.

 

I assume your Parents did not immigrate to the US.

 

You can certainly sponsor them, it will take a couple of years.

 

To study in the US your siblings can look at the F1 Student visa.
