There's no way for your mom and brother to immigrate together.

Once your mother enters the US with her immigrant visa, the immigrant visa becomes a temporary 1 year green card (I-551).  She can use that to immediately file an I-130 for her son.  Your mother can file for her son on the day she immigrates to the US.  

Your LPR mom can file for a Re-Entry Permit.  Once she has her biometrics, she can leave to return home.  The Re-Entry Permit allows her to spend up to 2 years abroad without abandoning her green card.  She will need to file US tax returns, have a permanent US address, etc. to maintain her legal permanent residency.  You need to Google this and research it carefully.  The Re-Entry Permit will allow her to go home to care for her son while waiting for his immigration case to proceed.  It will take about 2 years for her to petition for her son.  

Thank you so much for the quick reply! I will look into this.

Hello everyone!

I'm planning on bringing my family to live in the USA and I'm exploring options and alternatives.

I was wondering if having them file for asylum would affect any other immigration process I have in the works, family based petitions would work fine for my mom, however my underage brother (age 12) would have to be left behind while she gets her green card.

Currently my wife is a temporary resident (move to USA through K1 Visa) and I'm not sure if doing this would affect her status in the future.

Hello everyone!

I'm planning on filing a relative petiton for my mom in Venezuela, so far the steps for doing that are clear, however I'm trying to have my little brother (age 12) come with her.

According to what I've read he would have to be under a separete petition which has a lower priority for USCIS processing and could take north of ten years.

My question is, how long would my mom have to wait to file a petition for my brother after getting her LPR status?

Hello! First time writing on the forum but been following this thread (kind of obsessively lol) for a while, it's great to see how supportive everyone is around here.

Today we got the RFE, has anyone else on the recieved this and what type of extra evidence does USCIS ask for?

I was sure my package was more than complete, had tons of evidence (me and my fiance have been together since highschool and lived in the same country throughout the entire relationship until I moved back to the US last year) I would really appreciate some insight from the senior member of the thread 😃.

If it's for any interest:
