Mertzon, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

If you are a US citizen over 21 and your mother married your stepfather before you turned 18, yes. Half brothers and sisters are considered your siblings and you may file petitions for them as well.

As the petitioner and sponsor, you must file form I-864 regardless of your employment status. If your income is insufficient to meet 125% of the federal poverty guideline, your joint sponsor's income must be sufficient to makeup the difference.

The question may turn on whether he made a false claim to US citizenship when applying for work or in any other context dealing with the US government, and whether an immigration examiner is interested in how he obtained the Social Security number. If he used the false Social Security number in connection with a false green card, that would be better than using the false Social Security number and claiming to be a US citizen as the latter usually invokes a permanent bar.
