Eligibility & Documentation for Bringing Siblings to the U.S.

To qualify to sponsor a sibling to the U.S., the petitioner must be a U.S. citizen aged 21 or older. If these criteria are met and there are no factors making the sibling inadmissible, a petition can be filed for the sibling to become a U.S. permanent resident (green card holder).

Essential documentation for a sibling visa includes:

• A completed Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative with all required supporting documents.
• Proof of the sponsor’s U.S. citizenship.
• Evidence confirming the sibling relationship, indicating the shared parentage between the sponsor and sibling.

Sibling Visas for Half-Siblings

Half-siblings might also qualify for sibling visas. However, additional documentation may be required to confirm these relationships. The expert at Hanlon Law Group can provide clarity on the necessary documents for such petitions.

It’s noteworthy that while U.S. citizens can sponsor half-siblings, adopted individuals cannot petition for their biological siblings due to the severance of biological ties post-adoption for immigration purposes.
