I130 filed 1999... how much longer should we wait.

[Winning 2]

hello everyone,

my grandfather filed petition I-130 for my father to migrate into the U.S. back in 1999 with a priority date of March 19, 1999. My father is in Mexico and has been waiting there all this time. how much longer is he going to have to wait for a visa to me issued to him.

Has no one called to check the status of it? 1999? um..thats WAY to long. does he/you have a reciept its been recieved? you may want to call the USCIS 1800 # and find out the status- I believe its been WAY closed.

You need to do some back checking on the petition. did it ever make it out of USCIS? What about the status on the USCIS website. Does it even show as an active petition? Any RFE's or any correspondence ever received from USCIS or NVC?

I'm guessing he is in the F3 category? Married son of a US citizen? If so they are currently processing Nov of 1992 so that gives about 7 more years to wait.

for Mexicans it's more than 18 years of waiting, they're in 1992 for married children.

so more than 7 years more of waiting. he has to check the visa bulletin every month.

still,

For May, they are in March 1st, 1993 for Mexican unmarried children, more than 6 years. it's still more than 18 years in all.
