it'll take 4-5 years till your petition will be current... so give it till 2010 or 2011... and just wait till they'll start to process your documents and thats when you update and inform them that you have a lil angel with you. They are currenty processing march 2005 so shall i say your mom will be receiving stuff from USCIS next year!

1. There is no typical time for approval of the I-130. It can happen in a year or it can take 10 years. Approval is only the first step in getting a visa. After approval, you will have to wait for an available visa. Since your mom is an LPR, it takes 4-5 years to petition for an unmarried child under the age of 21 and it takes 11 years to petition for an unmarried child over the age of 21. Age is determined at the time a visa is available.

2. Yes, your son will be eligible for a visa. In the F2a and F2b family preference categories, derivative beneficiaries are allowed.

3. Either you or your mother can update the petition for you. Contact USCIS if your petition has not been approved. Contact the NVC if your petition has been approved.
