Hey all, Just a quick question about some options we have regarding my Visa Application...

My mum is currently a Green Card Holder (LPR i think it's called) in the USA (originally for the UK) and we have had my I-130 application approved as of Aug 2008. I understand this take 6-8 years for me to get the visa number I am so badly waiting for, that is the current situation I am in.

My question is, if my Mum becomes a US Citizen how long will this take off of the waiting time? are we talking 2 years, less or more? it must speed it up a bit...

I am an unmarried 25 year old, the visa was approved after i turned 21 :( Another quick question, what preference am i classed as at the moment? like I said, over 21 and unmarried with a Permanent Resident as my sponser. Also what preference would I be classed as if my Mum was to become a US Citizen?

So in a nutshell...

How long would it cut off of my waiting time if my mum was to become a US citizen?

What preference am I currently?

What preference would I be if my Mum became a US citizen?

Many thanks for any help or advice given, it will be much appreciated.

Nice One

current processing for your category (F2B) is Oct. 15, 2003, and if it was changed as of today it change to dec. 2, 2004 so would save you 14months of waiting.

What preference am I currently?

F2B and if your mom becomes a US Citizen would change to F1 if you are still unmarried or F3 if you should get married.

What preference would I be if my Mum became a US citizen?

F1

ditto to ricardo.

it's not 6-8, it's over 8 years currently, they are working on 2003, to 2008, you still have more than 5 years of waiting if your mother continues to be a LPR and laws don't change.

if she does become a USC. then it is more than 6 years of waiting, you would be waiting more than 4 years.

always check the monthly visa bulletin. this is for February.

you still not have any approved application, that ds-230.

Can explain what is 'I-130 visa' ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

okay nice one for the responses, it always helps to know a little more.

Ricardo, do you mean i have at least 4 years left to wait if my mum becomes a USC? so in total it is going to be an 8 year process?

Thanks again.

Yes it will be at least unless changes are made with the Immigration Nationality Act etc
