Q: My brothers American and my parents aren not.We all live in Chile and he is underage. How can he go and live in the U.S?
My brother was born in the U.S. and due to our visa expiration, my parents and I decided to return to our country (Chile), to not remain in the U.S. undocumented. Since we have been in Chile for the past 8 years, my brother has lost his ability to speak English, and is not receiving his country's education, nor benefits.
We as a family have done everything rightfully, and we want him to live, grow and study in U.S. schools, learning the American culture and customs. We want him to go there, but we do not have any relatives or anyone who can take care of him. Is there a way my parents can go there with him? Is there some type of program that allows Natural Born citizens living abroad, who are underage to live in the U.S. with his/her parents? What other options are there?
Please contact me, I am very burdened due to this situation and I want to find a solution once and for all.

Hello,
Sorry about your situation, if your brother was born in the US he will always be a US citizen unless he becomes a citizen of another country which does not allow dual citizenship. You should contact an immigration attorney as soon as possible to find out how to get your brother here and along with your parents. All the best.
