Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

This responsibility doesn't end when he gets a job. A sponsor remains responsible for the sponsored immigrant until he/immigrant becomes a US citizen, works for at least 10 years in USA, dies or permanently departs the USA (loses his residency).

Also, if you petition for a brother, there will be a long wait for his visa number (at least 9 years for most countries, and longer for some selected countries).

Your obligation to support your brother financially will continue until he becomes a U.S. citizen, or can be credited with 40 qualifying quarters of work in the United States, which equate to ten years of work.
