A US citizen over the age of 21 can sponsor their stepmother for her green card, provided that the marriage of the stepmother and your biological father occurred before your 18th birthday. Additionally, your step brother could apply for a student visa snd later on his mom could sponsor him through adjustment of status for his green card after she gets her card. This is the general rule And may not apply to your situation. You need to contact counsel in a private phone call to discuss all the facts and unique circumstances the relate to your case.
