GC Application for deceased brothers family?

Hello All,

I am a US Citizen and want to apply for Green Card for my deceased brothers kids. They all are under 21. Is there any provision that I can use to apply? Can it be done through my parents who are their grandparents, if they have a GC? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

In typical cases, no. Is their mother alive?

Yes she is alive.

If the mother is willing to give up her parental rights you can file I-601 Petition to classify a Orphan as a immediate relative. Please read thru the detailes instructions of I-600 or I-601 and then ask any questions if you would have any, please be advised all I-600 I-601 petitions must be filed before the child turns 16, the process can run it coarse but it must be filed before the childs 16th Birthday.
