My brother is an American citizen. Can I apply for my sister's immigration?

Yes, brothers and sisters who are not immediate relatives in the fourth priority category can immigrate.

Four kinds of non-lineal relatives:

Let's talk about other relatives and immigrants. Non-lineal relatives who apply for immigration to the United States are subject to annual quota restrictions stipulated by the immigration law. According to the distance of the relationship, non-lineal relatives are divided into four categories.

The first priority category includes unmarried children of American citizens over the age of 265,438+0, unmarried children of adult unmarried children of American citizens or married minor children.

The second priority category includes spouses of permanent residents in the United States and unmarried children of any age, including adopted sons, adopted daughters, stepsons and stepdaughters within the prescribed scope, and minor children of permanent residents in the United States under the age of 265,438+0, including legally divorced only children.

The third priority category is the legitimate children of American citizens and their eligible adopted sons, adopted daughters, stepsons and stepdaughters, and children under 2 1 one year of age of their spouses.

The fourth priority category refers to American citizens' brothers and sisters and their spouses, and their children under 2 1 year old.

Proof and waiting:

As I said just now, American citizens and permanent residents have the right to apply for immigration to the United States for their relatives at home or abroad, but there are two points to be noted. First of all, when relatives apply for immigration, the most important thing is to prove the relationship between the immigrant applicant and American relatives and the economic situation of American citizens or permanent residents.

Secondly, even if the applicant meets the immigration requirements, due to the limited annual immigration quota in the United States, it often takes a long time from application to approval, especially for applicants in the fourth priority category, and the waiting time may be as long as several decades. In addition, the waiting time is also closely related to the country and region where the applicant is located.
