I-130 - Category Change

[surya2008 0]

My father recently became US citizen in Oct 2008. He had applied for " I - 130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E) " for my mother, younger brother ( Current age 19 ) and me ( current age 28 ) in 2004 while he was green card holder. His petition for us was approved and priority date is Dec 2004 - India.

As mentioned above, I have the following questions:

1. Since my father is now US Citizen, what is the process to change the category for our petition for immediate relative of US citizens ?

2. Based on current processing times, how long would it take for my mother and younger brother to immigrate to USA who is currently under 21 ?

3. My current age is 28 and unmarried. How long would it take for me to immigrate to US ?

4. Does USCIS automatically change the category of our petition or would my father need to inform about his naturalization to USCIS ?

Would anyone will be able to help us with our situation ?

Any opinion would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

I think he needs to send a copy of his Citizenship certificate to NVC or call them to update his status.And your mother and brother will be an IR so meaning,there is no limit for their visa,they will be processed quickly. Possibly 6 months to a year.

Thank you very much for your inputs. I really appreciate it.

However, I think you missed 1 last question about myself. That is:

(#3) My current age is 28 and unmarried. How long would it take for me to immigrate to the US ?

Would be extremely thankful if you can throw some light on this.

Hi,

I also have a petition filed by father who became an American citizen in the 1980s, so to answer your question

"(#3) My current age is 28 and unmarried. How long would it take for me to immigrate to the US ?" I can give you my information.

My father filed May 29 of 2002 and I am still waiting, the priority date is now May 1, 2002, so I have been waiting over six years.

Sorry for the bad news.
