    Default How Do I Sponsor My Family for Green Cards

    Being born in a big family I find it very lonely here in the US without my parents and siblings.
    I have been a permanent resident through marriage for 7 years. How can I bring my brother to live permanently in the US so that I have at least 1 sibling close to me. I'm still holding my Indian citizenship in a hope to go live there some day when my American husband and I are ready. I'm currently not working, would that be a problem on the affidavit of support even though my husband and I file taxes jointly and in a high tax bracket? Do I need to be a US citizen to bring my brother here? If there is a chance how long does the process take.
    Your experience in this matter is highly appreciated I especially need success stories please.

    As a permanent resident, you may only petition for residency for your parents or unmarried children.

    You must be a US citizen to petition for residency for your brother. The process is long - it can sometimes take several years.
