National Siblings Day: Reunite With Your Sibling In The US

As a U.S. citizen (age 21 or older), you can sponsor your brother or sister for a green card. This allows them to live and work in the US. This month, in honor of National Siblings Day on April 10, why not reunite with your sibling in the US?

National Siblings Day is a time to appreciate the unique relationships and memories siblings create together. And a time to remember the importance of family unity and support. Which extends to the possibility of helping siblings live together. Especially if borders separate them. Now is the time to apply for a green card so your sibling can live in the United States. With various immigration policies and regulations continuously changing, starting the process now can provide a smoother navigation through potential changes. Sponsoring a sibling for a green card requires time. You must gather necessary documentation, navigate legal procedures and address any potential challenges. This will help increase the chances of successful reunification with your brother or sister.

How To Apply For A Green Card For Your Sibling

  1. File Form I-130: This establishes your relationship with your sibling.
  2. Wait for Visa Availability: There are limits on how many sibling green cards the USCIS issues each year, and waiting times can vary.
  3. Complete Green Card Application: Once a visa becomes available, your sibling can apply for a green card.

What you’ll need:

  • Proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate, passport, etc.)
  • Proof of your relationship (birth certificates showing a common parent)

Additional notes:

  • You can sponsor adopted or half-siblings, including those through a step-parent.

The advice and guidance of an immigration attorney specializing in green cards for family members can make the process smoother and ensure nothing is forgotten or overlooked.
