Yes a LPR can file a (I-130) for unmarried son or daughter over 21 years of age. One your dad becomes a USC then he can upgrade the petition and that will be faster.

So let your dad file the petition right away and that will save a lot of time at least 3 years.

As a USC they are processing petitions from May 2002

As a LPR they are processing petitions from Jan 2000

So, at a minimum it is a 7 year wait or longer

Because unmarried sons of LPR over 21 are not considered a priority. To me, this makes sense as minors, orphans, and even spouses should be higher priority.

Good luck

No. Unmarried children over the age of 21 fall BEHIND the following

Orphan

Minor Child

Spouse

Child of spouse

As Payx said, you're looking at 7 years, if not longer.

To clarify, preference visas come after immediate relative visas and have to wait for a visa number to become available. Visa numbers are limited in your situation.

Good luck.
