It will not be possible for your brother to accompany mom as her derivative beneficiary, so he will need his own independent grounds to enter like a student visa or a visitor visa.

Congrats. I doubt that should be an issue. You spent most of your time in the US and that is what is required for the time segment of the form. If you are asked about it at any time explain it as you did here.

As an asylee you have to get approval before you travel. A specific document is needed.

You should consult an attorney - the American Immigration Lawyers Association and Justis both have lawyer directories. You can also look on the USCIS website.

In your posting, you did not indicate how and when you obtained your resident status.

Without knowing that information, it is probable that you may have to file the FORM I-130 on behalf of your ( unmarried ) child.

You should contact an experienced immigration attorney for personalized guidance.

Dear Overstay,

I will assume your B-1 non-immigrant visa was issued around 2014. You then came to the US and overstayed your authorized stay of presumably 6 months for more than a year. This alone bars you from seeking admission into the U.S. for 10 years, at which point you will allow to...

If you apply to renew your green card, you can either receive an extension sticker on the card when you do your biometrics, or you can ask for temporary card during an infopass appointment at your local USCIS office.

The I-864 explaines your obligation as a sponsor. This applies to your previous wife and the current. Even though you are no longer married you may still be responsible for her pursuant to the I-864 you signed when you sponsored her to get her green card.
