Hum? How so?
Once the student becomes a US citizen (11 years from now) theycan sponsor their family members (mom, dad, brothers and sisters only) to obtain a permanent residence. The process is very long and costly.
1) US Citizen submits applciation for sponsorship.
2) Family member must wait 10 years OUTSIDE the US for permanent residence.
3) At the 10 yera mark they are given PR and allowed to come and live in the US.
4) Family member now must wait 5 years before they can apply for citizenship. During those 5 years they can NOT ask for federal aid as the sponsor signed the application saying any aid needed the sponsor would handle.
5) After 5 years (15 in total since the start of the process) that person can become a citizen.
Special notes.
Mom/Dad can apply for their SINGLE children only (ie. not married).
So if you want to bring your kid who is now 20 from say Chile you can put the application in and in 15 years from now (age 35 by then) the child can become a US citizen provided he is still single.
I was being sarcastic.
