Yeah, that's how my dad went through under the L visa. I tried but got messed up as well, due to my application getting lost, and the the approval notice expiring.
If you are over 21 and unmarried, then you can immigrate via your family, it just takes time. If you are married then I think your family have to become citizens for you to be eligible.
Its just been one long nightmare for me, but for the rest of my family, its been suprisingly easy. My older brother was over 21 when my dad applied so he applied on his own, and had his green card in a year and a half.

Don't forget though, everything else is cheaper (like the exchange rate), so it all comes down in line. Anyway, that's the federal rate, states are allowed to up that, and do... Florida's MW is $6.15
