Leaving US immediately after filing I--130 for family members

[imminfog]

Hello Everyone:

I will become citizen soon.

I will be filing I130 for my brother and sister ( F4 ).
Current wait for I-130 approval is about 5 years and F4 has a backlog of over 12 years.


My question is:

1. Can I file for I-130 for my brother ( F4 ) and leave for India after getting receipt ?
What are, if there are any, issues in petitioner staying in India while I-130 is getting processed ?
Does petitioner need to be in US when petition is approved ?
2. Can I-130 for brother or sister be filed while petitioner is in India ( similar to Direct Consular Filing for spouse )
3. What do i need to do to make sure I-130 approval is received by me if I am in India ? Can I get that in India ?
4. Once priority dates are current, and consular processing starts, does peitioner need to be in US at that time ?

Appreciate your answer.

Thanks and Regards.

1. You can be in India. No problem.
2. No. That is only for spouse.
3. You can't get that in India.
4. No. You need to be domiciled in US.
