Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
How do I bring a mentally ill, adult brother to care for in US?
I have 35 year old brother who is in a mental institution in Bulgaria. He is
often abused there and is getting worse. My parents just obtained their green
cards and would like to come join me but they don't want to come and leave
my brother behind. How can I get him to come and live in a home here? I was
told that he would never get a green card because he would be a public
charge. Still, I will be his only relative when my parents pass away and I need
to find a way to bring him over legally so that he can get medical care. What
can I do in this situation? Should I have my parents petition for him even
though they are not yet citizens? Also, are they in danger of losing their green
cards if they don't come to live here because of him? Please help.

Consider Humanitarian Parole. You may need to get commitments from doctors and prospective treaters in advance.
