He has to file for his own immigration... its no different than it is for adult children... you file and you wait... expect it to take years. A lot of years unless he gets lucky. I know several green card holders that have been trying to get their adult children here for years... and by years I mean 8+ years.

You aren't even a citizen... and even if you were its not like you fill out a form and you get it quick... you can be a citizen... make repeated applications over years and still be rejected..

An example... first hand experience... I was born here to parents that were born here, to grandparents that legally immegrated and got citizenship over 80 years ago. It still cost tme over $5,000 (and that was 20 years ago) and over 2 years to get my wife here legally, and even then that took political connections or it would have taken years longerand it was before 9/11 when all that changed and became much harder and more expensive.
