He can sponsor you for a Green Card and should do so ASAP - the new immigration reform, if passed, may elimitlnate this category (brother/sister of USC). However, there is a long wait involved and you would not be able to wait here based on his petition only. Please contact me directly at [email protected] for more info. I would be glad to help
