Hi I want to apply for form I-130 to my parents and my child's brother. Should I file 3 separate forms?

What is "my child's brother"?

Yes, you need separate forms. Parents are immediate relatives and cannot have derivatives.

But another guy told me to fill 2 I-130 for parents and after they have the OK they will file for your youger brother . Is it true?

Parents are in the immediate relative category. They cannot bring their children along with them.

You as a U.S. citizen could file directly for your brother. But the wait is like 12+ years.

The easiest is once your parents come to the U.S. and become permanent residents, they can file for your brother. That is much faster.

I agree with newacct.

Your parents are immediate relatives and since your brother has a way to be petitioned through you, even with the long FB-4 priority date backlog, he cannot immigrate with your parents as a dependent.

Not easy, but if they immigrate, possibly a humanitarian parole for your brother.
