F1 visa application for a minor child. Both parents have pending IR5 petition
hello I want to know if anybody is in the same rut as I am and could shed some light. I petitioned both my parents however I have minor sibling. I was told its much better if my parents petitions for my brother when they get here in the US however it will be really difficult to leave my brother in the Philippines just by himself. Both my parents are old and hmy father has dementia. i am really hopi ng there is a way that I can apply for my brother’s student visa. if we are being honest, we dont have an intent to overstay our welcome and why would we think of illegally letting my brother stay if we have afforded to petition/support my parents. My parents are going to petition him right away. So really I don’t know if USCIS has a heart.

Don't have an idea about student visa for minor. But to the best of my understanding overstay is considered as a ground for rejection. Waiver is only for immediate relatives of US citizen

sorry thats a TYPO. “there is definitely not an intent to overstay”

I think that you can apply for all together once your sibling is under 21 . but you have to speak with a lawyer .
