Past waiting times are nothing but a really poor indication of what will happen in the future. Also, I'm not sure what kind of formula they use. In the last eleven years, the longest wait for F4 has been is roughly 12 years. That happened in 2002 and is happening now. Also, the wait appears to be very cyclical. I wouldn't pay attention to those prediction sites at all.

But i think in future wait times will increase not only for F4 but also for F3.. Because first we must understand that there are only 65000 visas for F4. And according to Annual IV waiting list there are total 2.5 million applicants waiting in NVC.. it means 65000 visas will cover these applicants in minimum 35 years... even if u delete the heavily retrogress countries like Mexico, India and Philippines which makes up to 1.1 million approx.. than also 1.4 million applicants all over the world.. than also 22 year wait for normal countries... but on average it will take 25 years in future... i mean from now on.. if u c the bulletin.. Jan 2011 than wait was 11 year.. but now it is more than 12 years.. and wait is increasing.. and it will increase.. because of applicants..

If u c the visa bulletin of 1996 of F1 it was Current.. and F3 wait was just 2 or 3 years.. and now F1 wait is 7 years and F3 wait is more than 10 years..

So it all depends on Number of cases.. All those people whose PD is after 2004 for F4 the wait will be longer than 2002 PD. and same will apply for 2007 Pd.

So if your numbers are correct, there are about 1.4 Million ROW people waiting in line in the F4 category, and the annual number of visas for those countries is just over 51,000. However, given the long wait for the category, many people just don't pursue their permanent residency once their PD is up for various reasons. A lot of things can happen over 10-12 years that causes them not to finish their process. If every single one of them did, the wait for an application filed today would be 30 years. If half of them follow through with their application, the wait would be 15 years, which I think is closer to reality than 30 years.

Y not u understand the simple thing.. which is.. just c the bulletin of 1996.. F1 was current and F3 only 3 years waiting.. and now.. F1 wait is 7 years.. and F3 more than 10 years... what i m trying to say is .. its not necessay that in every year F4 will remain 10 or 12 years.. it depends on cases.. and in my opinion future dates will be slow down.. and it will effect the PD after 2003.

Hi All,

I am an Indian working in UAE along with my husband and my son studying in India (14 years). Our interview will be in Mumbai, We are already documentarily qualified and waiting for PD to be current. (F4 category PD Feb 2002.)

My question is : Usually within how many days of intereview, (if all papers are correct) does a person gets his visa stamped ?This is basically for us to plan in advance to take leave from our work and come for medical and interview. Is it ok to tell the officer that we have to return back to our work within 15 days ?

I do understand that there is no fixed time frame and depends on case to case, still an approximate time frame and suggestions will be of great help.

Thanks in advance.
