Asked on Dec 27th, 2022 on Immigration - Ohio
More details to this question:
I recently got my citizenship and I want to apply for my Mom to come to the U.S. throw petition I-130. She has a 13 years old son living with her and she is the only one taking care of him, she cannot leave him because he has no one there. Is it possible that I apply for her and add her 13 years old son to the application ? So they can come together at the same time?

As you are applying for your mother as an immediate relative of a US citizen, a category that does not allow dependents, you must file for your mother first, and once she comes to the States, she can file for your brother.
