In this short Spanish-language consultation, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a caller, Carolina, who asks whether she can petition for her 3‑year‑old brother living in Santo Domingo without adopting him. The lawyer explains that U.S. citizens may file a family‑based immigrant petition for a sibling only if the petitioner is at least 21 years old. She notes that processing times vary by country, citing roughly 25‑year waits for Mexico and China and about a 4‑year wait for the Dominican Republic. The attorney also mentions that adoption could be explored as a faster route, but adoption cases are complex and would require a deeper review of the specific circumstances.
