Legal Question in Immigration Law in Georgia

Hi,

My question is about my younger brother. My parents, my brother and my sister came to US in 2002 when they were 16 and 15. They were on H1 and H2 visas, then my father applied for green card. In 2007, my brother turned 21 so he was dropped by the lawyer from the green card petition. My father got his I140 approved in 2008 and my parents and my sister got their green cards in Jan 2009.

My brother is in Student Visa F1 since 2007. My question is in this case, can The Child Status Protection Act could help my brother as his I130 was approved at that time...

Please reply.

Thank you

Your parents became permanent residents only in 2009. If a brother is unmarried, they can petition for him. It will be a new petition, in a new visa category with a new priority date.
