Yes, you can sponsor your brother if you can show enough financial support, but it won’t change your F1 status. Just make sure your own proof of funds remains strong.

Being a student doesn’t stop you from sponsoring a sibling, but the U.S. embassy will look closely at your finances.

You’ll need bank statements and an affidavit of support. If your income is low, your parents might need to co-sponsor.

It’s possible to help with your brother’s student visa by providing financial documents or a letter of support, but it doesn’t give him any immigration benefit beyond the F1 process. U.S. consulates mainly check if the primary applicant can afford school and living expenses. Your own visa won’t be affected as long as you maintain full-time enrollment and avoid unauthorized work. Consider sharing sponsorship with your parents to reduce pressure on your records.
