If a US Citizen files for a GC for his/her sibling who is currently in the US on a non-immigration Visa, what will be the timeline for that ?

Would it be faster than the regular process OR would it take the same amount of time as the sibling living outside US.

And if the siblings non-immigration Visa expires before the approval could come, will he/she be able to stay in US ??

I will really appreciate if someone can help me with this OR point me to the right place...

Thank you guys, in advance...

There is a chart over there. See Family 4th.

Thanks...

I watch that Bulletine regularly.

But, somebody told me that if the sibling is already in US the process is faster, Im just trying to confirm it and find out how fast.

Thank you guys, in advance... I tend to think that it takes a long time either way, since siblings belong to category 4 of the family based preferences. Its certainly not a good idea to have them overstay their visa, which is called non-immigrant for a reason. Those cases are only excused for spouses within a certain amount of time until they apply for adjustment of status. But thats only how I understand it.

Anyway, youll find more informations here
