Dad adopted my brother but why is my brother is not a US Citizen?

Immigration law has gone through a few changes over the past 35 years or so. If he entered the US as an immigrant at the age of 30, he was too old to be a citizen automatically when he arrived. However, if he's been a legal permanent resident for the past 10 years, he can apply for citizenship whenever he likes. If he passes the test, he would become a citizen at that point.
