Quitman, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

There are a number of concerns, since you met him when you were a minor and conceived a child with him before your 18th birthday. In addition, it is unclear whether he will have to consular process and seek a waiver, which can take a lot of time, create frustration, and may require him to live outside the U. S. for the next ten years. As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney, before there are any more complications. Good luck.

Currently for the month of December, immigrant visas are being given to individuals who filed under the sibling category for Pakistan-born before February 1, 2007.

The immigration laws do not allow someone to file for an adjustment of status through form I-485 unless the priority date is current. For other options, you and your brother should consult with an immigration lawyer.
