我弟弟今年30岁,未婚,在国内。我是公民。我想为他申请绿卡,很可能是通过广州的领馆办理。请问这种情况是否要等好久?时间长是预料之中的。
现在有个新问题。弟弟的女朋友也要来美国。她的父母是美国绿卡,已经为她申请了。他们有结婚的打算。他们是否应该现在结婚还是等女方或我弟弟拿到绿卡后再考虑?
-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.
那么我该怎么办呢?是我这个公民姊妹为弟弟办得快,还是他女朋友绿卡父母为女儿办得快?很想帮忙又怕帮倒忙,请提宝贵意见。
-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.
