am a US citizen and would like to bring my parents and my 17 years old brother. I just want to know what is the proper and fastest way to bring them. I know that I need to file I-130 for each of my parents and my brother. but i was told not to file a separate form for him(brother) and to just include my brother with each of my parents without filing a separate I -130 form for him since he is a minor. is this correct? Any advice? And what is the average time from start to finish. Thank you.
I assume that you are over the age of 21. The best way to have your parents and your 17-year-old brother over is to first sponsor your parents, and once they are here, they should immediately sponsor your brother. If all goes well, everyone should be here within 2-3 years.
