According to the US immigration law, if you are a US citizen, you can sponsor your brother or sister from Vietnam to come to the US to settle down. This stream is classified as the 4th priority, so it is often referred to as the F4 petition.
The F4 sponsored person will receive a 10-year green card and enjoy the policies of a US resident school. When living in the US for 4 years and 9 months, the sponsored person under this category will be eligible to apply for the US citizenship test. If you pass, you will become a US citizen.
The U.S sibling category has a quota based on the fiscal year (starting from October and ending in September of the following year. The number of visas granted to the F4 category per year is specified in the table below.
