I am a US citizen, and would like to file for my brother in a foreign country. He is 30 yrs old. I know it can take years for him to get status.

Perhaps your brother could send you a detailed resume of himself, and you could send a number of copies to companies or other organizations that might be interested in his education and skills. They could possibly interview him via telephone or Skype, or your brother might even be able to arrange to visit the US if potential employers are interested in in-person interviews.  If willing to go futher, they might be willing to sponsor him for a temporary work visa or even permanent residence. Currently (except for those born in China and India), successful labor certification sponsored cases for green cards are taking approximately 2 years and less to process. As the unemployment rate is now very low - 3.5% - the chances of success are high since the labor certification process tests the US job market for available US workers, and most are already currently employed and not looking for work.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
