If I have a citizenship, can I give it to my family?

I'm thinking about joining the Mavini program, and I know they would accept me. I actually speak a lot more than one of the languages listed, so I don't think I'd have a hard time getting in. I read after you join, you automatically get a citizenship, you completely skip the green card process. What I'm wondering about, is would I be able to give that citizenship to some family members, and how long would it take? I'm 19 years old, I would like to help out my 22 year old brother, my father and mother. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Well if you become a US citizen you'll have to wait till your 21years old. To legalize your parents it usually takes around 6 months, but it also depends how they enter country. Siblings I there's always a longer waiting list and depends on the country of origin. That's the most I know you should consult with an attorney.

If you'd enlist via MAVNI you'd be able to begin sponsoring them the moment you'd hit 21 years old. You'd fill out an I-130 for each family member, your parents would fill out adjustment of status packets,(you'd need to fill out an affidavit of support for each of them), and all forms would be sent to USCIS.

Parents are immediate relatives, they are treated on par with spouses and minor children, meaning there is no numerical limitations as to how many green cards can be issued for them. Working illegally is pardoned. Only thing needed is for the last entry to US to have been legal.

If your parent(s) entered illegally then you'd need to file I-130 for each of them with evidence of relation and your US citizenship. Upon approval you'd need to file I-131 for each with your copy of your military ID and a letter stating why they need parole in place. Upon approval of I-131s your parents would file for adjustment of status.

In case of your brother - he is not an immediate relative, unless covered under 245(i) he will not be able to adjust status in US. You can file I-130 on his behalf just to see if something changes. Also, even if F4 category is backlogged at least 12 years. So he will have to wait a while... If he has DACA he can try enlisting on his own.

Wow I feel so ignorant for asking but can we really join under mavni??

Limited number of people can, deepening mainly on your language or health care skills. Spanish is not one of the languages.

Does DACA count as legal status?

Eligibilty
1. You must be in one of the following categories
asylee, refugee, Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
non-immigrant categories: E, F, H, I, J, K, L, M, O, P, Q, R, S, T, TC, TD, TN, U, or V
2. You must have been in valid status in one of the above categories for at least two years immediately prior to the enlistment date. It doesn’t have to be in the same category. So in other words, you have to be on a legal non-immigrant status for at least two years before enlisting.
3. Within those two years on being on a non-immigrant visa, you must not have had any single absence from the United States of more than 90 days.
4. You are still eligible to apply even if you have a pending application for adjustment of status to permanent residence. This is the case for many H-1B workers who are filing for permanent residency through employment.

Keep up with the news.

Hey, I'd take this if I had DACA and could run more than 2 miles before waving the white flag. My language is actually one of the popular ones too. Like really popular as I've noticed white people trying to learn it and when asked why, I'm told "oh no reason..."

Seriously though, for you younger Dreamers who speak English and a non-spanish language, this is your silver bullet that will solve all your problems and you'll forever be looked at with respect. Your family may freak out but I'd do it.

yo! chinese is one of the languages man! i wanna apply for it now!

Mandarin or Cantonese?
