Called again today and was told by a 2nd level agent that I just have to wait until I get my response from my SR done on March 15th, in that response I should be advised as to how much longer I will have to wait for visa. If you guys get news before me pls also let me know. Interview done Oct 11th 2011.

Hi Guys

My brother who is a US citizen is currently filing a I-130 PETITION on my behalf. What happens to the application in the current immigration reform scenario. Would the application be filed under the normal F-4 pipeline as has been the case as per current rules and the wait for the next 12 years or will it be pushed to the merit based category as per the current proposed immigration bill. My brother intends to file the application on the 5th June 2013 at the california office. I would sincerely request the gurus here to reply asap. Pls advise

Thanks and regards

Regarding Police certificates from Pakistan. I've lived all my life in Karachi but at different addresses. Do I have to submit Police certificates for all the addresses I resided at since age 16? Will appreciate a reply.

Not so fast my friend.....the bill has a long way to go...Don't get me wrong I will be the happiest person on earth when this passes but just pointing out the hurdles in the way...

Senate still needs to pass it and most importantly house need to pass it...I am very worried about house....it is control by republicans and it will be hard to get it pass through house...hopefully it passes soon...

Seriously, despite the fact that everyone here has an advantage with their petitions being filed compared to a newbie like me none have bothered to reply to my query. Is it too much to ask ?

Sorry mate for the late reply. Well if your brother apply for you before the bill is enactment, you will get your GReen card within 7 years as they promised to clear all backlogs by fiscal year 2021. And your visa processing will be done by merit based category track 2. As they promised they will clear all backlogs of family based category under merit based track 2. But you don't need any special requirement to qualify for visa I mean green card. You just need to proof being of brother of the petitioner. Dnt get late tell him to file the petition as soon as possible. Good luck Edited May 22, 2013 by ashk

Hello, I'm new to this forum. Nice to meet everyone of you!

I've been following up on the CIR bill that's sent to full Senate floor now. Too bad the backlog issue wasn't discussed much in the committee, but I guess that means both sides of the aisle don't mind what the bill says about it.

The thing is, I'm not getting how the math works to reduce/eliminate the backlog on F4. I understand that both sides want to deal with the backlog, and it isn't as controversial as some other provisions are. But just how exactly, and how fast, is the bill going to work on the family-based backlog (according to the currently amended version, at least)?

And personally: my (mom's actually; I am her derivative) priority date is [Nov 25th, 2005]. The current PD is [May 1st, 2001]. Does anyone of you have any idea as to how quickly my family may be able to get the Adjustment of Status step? Since the bill won't even affect us till 2014 October even if it gets enacted this year (or am I wrong?), I figured it won't be anytime soon.

Thanks in advance. It's relieving in my opinion to have this kind of support group (at least I feel so, because of all the frustration and disappointments in regards to this issue)!
