I-130 for 19 year old daughter

[Alexandra K 0]

Hello everyone! My English is definitely not the best but I'm sure that you will understand me. I am in my senior year of high school and I'm planning on studying in the US.(Florida) My father lives in Fl. and he is a US citizen; tomorrow it will be 5 months since USCIS received the I-130 petition. (January 18) I actually don't know what to do. Someone advised me to use 'James shortcuts' but there are some parts that I don't know if I will be able to do them. (I've already prepared 3032, 230, I864 forms for the NVC). Do you think there are any chances to become a resident until .. 22 august? (I've already been accepted to that college). My father doesn't want me to apply for a student visa. Can I do something more?

Hi, I'm not an expert in this area, but I noticed no on has responded to you yet.

From what I understand the timeline for the case to stay with USCIS is about 5 months and if it was received Jan 18, then May 18 will make 4 months, not 5. It's already May 18, so even if they send the case to NVC tomorrow, it's still kind of cutting it very close for it to be completed and the consulate process and you come into the country by August 22nd. Great that you got accepted to the college of your choice! I hope things work out favorably for you. I hope somebody with more or better information or some experience in this will come and respond.
