Tourist Visa if GC is Filed by Sibling

[braghavendra22]

I am a US Citizen and want to call my younger brother to live in US. So my question is will he ever get tourist visa if I start a Family Based Green Card process for him. Should he try to get tourist visa and see the results and then File for GC, He is 34 year old male(single, non-IT job).

Technically, you asked a very good question and the appropriate answer to your question is YES. he can get a U.S tourist visa if he can satisfy to the consular officer that he is eligible to qualify the prerequisite of a B2 visa.

In fact, a consular officer may properly issue B-1/B-2 Visitor Visas to aliens with Immigrant Visa (IV) applications pending with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The consular officer must be satisfied that the alien's intent in seeking entry into the United States is to engage in activities consistent with B-1/B-2 classification for a temporary period and that the alien has a residence abroad which he or she does not intend to abandon.

Good Luck
