      @@sharminecampbellbrown3679 Yes he can sponsor his sibling but it takes a very long time to sponsor a sibling (it can take 10+ years). It might be faster for you to get your green card through your son and then you can sponsor your 12 yr old son as a green card holder. I would ask an attorney but I think that way might be faster (it would still take years )

      This green card process is another different one vs the B1/B2 visa. My people who have B1/B2 never returned home. They overstayed their visa but will find a US citizen to married. Same with those on work visa. It is why US is not easy on work visa. Work visa is easier approval for Canada France Australia etc.

    Hello. Thanks for the video. I have a few questions for you and need guidance. So I have applied for my mom and just received the NVC welcome email. My question is that since there’s a immigration ban in place at least until March 31, 2021 and probably the next administration will extend it, how is it possible to apply for a Visa? Will a Visa be issued by any embassy at this time? Also it is very difficult to travel due to the pandemic. My mom is in Iran and as you know, there is not a US Embassy in Iran and she has to go to Abu Dhabi in Emirates. There’s also travel visas to Emirates for Iranians at this time and a travel halt in place. Could you please advise how to move forward with the application. Should I wait to see what happens with the Immigration ban?

    Hi !!! Excellent videos!!! Just one question ? What if my child a Us citizen is also here living with us in our home country and has just about to reached the age 21 !!! Can the child still sponsor while living abroad in our home country !! It’s a bit different situation and if you can please assist on how do we go about applying in our case .. the child will be 21 years old in coming December and all the other sibling all are under 18 can they also be sponsored !!! Looking forward to a reply !!! Bless you !

      Can an overseas U.S. citizen sponsor family members for U.S. green cards (U.S. lawful permanent residence) allowing them all to move to the U.S., together or apart? It's possible, but it won't be straightforward.

    I am naturalized US Citizen. While filing I-130 the application is asking for Alien Registration Number. I am no longer a Green Card Holder. Does my 9 digit US Passport number is Alien Registration Number?

      I filed the 1-130 and put N/A for the Alien Registration # and my petition is approved. Hope that help.

    Thank you. Could you tell me what constitutes 'filing' for immigration purposes? If you send a form, is it filed when you put it in the mail, when it is delivered, or when it is processed and accepted? Thanks!
