Family based Immigration

Question: I am filing for my brother. He is a UK resident and wife is a UK citizen. Which will be faster – Brother in US filing or Mother in US filing?

Answer: The F-4 category for siblings is currently taking 14-15 years, and F-3 category for US citizens applying for married child is taking about 13-14 years for adjudication. It will be prudent to apply under both the provisions and see which one comes first. Whether the applicant is a UK citizen or a resident, it will not impact the dates as it goes by the applicant’s country of birth.
