family based green card for siblings - please help
Hi, I have following questions about I-130 for siblings, appreciate if people with knowledge/personal experience can clarify/answer them.
1.I want to file I-130 form for my married brother and sisters, my understanding is that I will only file for my sibling and they will inturn include their spouses and childeren at the time of approval? or interview?
2.I understand that their childeren age should be 21 yrs or under, should this age be at the time of me submitting I-130 form or at the time of my sibling applying(including them in application?), or at the time of landing?
3.After 5 months process of I-130, what is next? how many years of wait time we currently have? is it country dependent? my country of origin is Pakistan
Sibling petitions is filed for married/unmarried siblings and their families are included, if they have more kids in the meantime they are waiting they can be added later. Information for their families are entered on the page 2 of I-130 that you will file.
Children should be under 21 at the time of Interview and arrival in US. Its taking about 10-12 years for the complete process nowadays. It is based on country of birth.
You need to learn to use the Visa Bulletin on the Department of State website to track priority dates.
Country of origin does not matter, country of birth does. Assuming your siblings were all born in Pakistan, they are looking at 12-14 years of wait now.
