Bringing son and brother to the US?

[BillV 8-16-2004]

My wife is now a US citizen with a US passport and she would like to now bring (petition) her son who is 30 and her brother who is 42 and married with a daughter to the US. Is there somewhere on CFL addressing the requirements (paperwork) necessary to send to the USCIS, I am completing the I-130 now for her son, making copies of his and my wife's birth certificate, his single certificate, their passports, I don't believe a G-325 is necessary? she has a SS# and on number 10 it ask for Alien Registration Number is this necessary? if anyone knows where this info is on CFL please let me know. Thanks Bill

She can still list her A# even though she is now a citizen it helps in background checks.

 

The I-130 petitions are much like ones filed for a parent, no G-325A required.

 

Be prepared for a LONG, LONG time between NOA1 and NOA2 for these petitions, since it takes YEARS for a visa number to be assigned to these cases USCIS tends to place the cases in long term storage, and wont do any processing until closer to the expected time NVC will assign a visa number.

Nine and eleven years for the son and brother respectively, according to the current visa bulletin
