Hi, Im a US citizen in California, and Im planning on filing I130s for my parents and my brother, who are all in India.

I understand the process in petitioning for my parents, and have all the forms filled out. The confusion that I have is with my brother, who turns 21 this December.

I understand their are two options to follow, keeping in mind he is 21, and providing he doesnt get married.

Option 1: File his i130 now and get that process going, which would take 7-10yrs to pull through.

Option 2: Have my parents apply for their son (at some point next yr), and have them file an i130, based on grounds of lawful perm resident.

Which route should I follow and why?

Thanks

You could do both, and take advantage of whichever category becomes current first.

So at some point I would have two i130s in process at the same time? You can do that?
How does that work?

how does it work? you will have three petitions: one for each parent, and one for your brother. When parents become LPR, they can each file a petition for your brother as well.
