I am a U.S. Citizen and I would like to bring my brother (single, over 21) in the US. I understand the I-130 process and the fact it will take years to get the visa. My questions is if he can apply for a Diversity Visa while pending for I-130 -would the two application affect each other in any negative way?
With the immigration reform looming, I fear both options might be off the table so I would like to at least apply for I-130. But if they don't take out DV visa this year and he wins (I know, chances are low) would he be able to enter sooner on DV if he has I-130 pending?
Thank you!
