我弟弟今年30歲,未婚,在國內。我是公民。我想為他申請綠卡,很可能是通過廣州的領館辦理。請問這種情況是否要等好久?時間長是預料之中的。
現在有個新問題。弟弟的女朋友也要來美國。她的父母是美國綠卡,已經為她申請了。他們有結婚的打算。他們是否應該現在結婚還是等女方或我弟弟拿到綠卡後再考慮?
-If she is married, her apparents can not sponsor her GC appliccation unless her parents become US citizen. Even if she is not married, she still may take about five years to get the GC unless she is less than 21 years old when the priority date is current. So, your brother may just marry her and then, you sponsor your borther's GC and she will be your brother's derivative status for her green card applciation.
那麽我該怎麽辦呢?是我這個公民姊妹為弟弟辦得快,還是他女朋友綠卡父母為女兒辦得快?很想幫忙又怕幫倒忙,請提寶貴意見。
-If she does not marry your brother before she gets her GC, she has to sponsor your brother's GC after she gets the GC and marry your brother. Thus, it may also take a long time. For my suggestion, you may just sponsor your brother'GC now (filing I-130) and they just get married. Marriage is more important than GC.
