[AKK 0]

Hello everyone,

I had applied for my father in June 2008 and still I didn't get any response from USCIS. I tried to call custormer service, but they are no help. Does any one have any idea how long we have to wait to get approval letter from CSC. Thanks in advance.

For parents of a US citizen I think they are working the ones from 2002 currently so you have a long wait.

For parents of a US citizen I think they are working the ones from 2002 currently so you have a long wait.

Not quite, a parent of a US citizen is considered to be IR-5 Visa (In the unlimited class), the processing time is the same as a spouse of a US citizen.

Typically 6 months through USCIS, then 2-3 months at NVC, then the time at the consulate.

Unlimited Family-Based Immigrants - Immediate Relatives

Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens (IR): These types of immigrant visas are based on a close family relationship with a U.S. citizen, including spouses, children, and parents. Additionally, a U.S. citizen can sponsor a child adopted or to be adopted from abroad, if that child meets the definition of orphan as provided for in immigration law. Family members of United States citizens (not Legal Permanent Residents) can file Immediate Relative Petitions.

For immigration purposes, Immediate Relative classifications include:

• Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (IR-1) Learn More

• Unmarried Child Under 21 Years of Age of a U.S. Citizen (IR-2)

• Orphan adopted abroad by a U.S. Citizen (IR-3) Learn More

• Orphan to be adopted in the United States by a U.S. citizen (IR-4) Learn More

• Parent of a U.S. Citizen who is at least 21 years old (IR-5)

i filed my fathers I130 late Sept 2008 and I received my approval a week ago. Immediate relatives of US citizens should not take that long to be processed since their case is automatically current.

I am filing for parents and it only took about three months for approval of the I-130 and that was just a month or so ago. Your wait seems far too long. I started at Vermont and was transferred to California. Thats when things happened.
