I am new to this forum and learning.My petitioner applied for f4 and my PD is 2006.Now they they are processing PD 2000 That means I got 6 years more.

I figure out that my sister,who is a citizen, could have petition for my mother first.It takes only a year for my mom to get her permanent resident and my mom would have petition f2b for me that would take 5 or 6 years and today ı would have my gc at hand.This is what I figured please someone tell me if this is true?I am unmarried over 21 male.

Your mom would be a U.S. citizen by now.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

You are right. It could be easier track if she filled IR-5 for your mom, and after that your mom files for you. It would take less time.

F4 category takes 10+ years.

It depends.

If your sister had filed for your mom then it would have taken between 8 and 12 months for your mom to get a visa and immigrate to the US. Your mom could have then filed for you. Adding a year would mean your priority date would be in 2007. How old were you in June, 2010? If you were under 21 then your priority date would have been current for an F2A visa, and would have remained current for about six months before the cutoff dates retrogressed in early 2011. If you'd gotten a visa application submitted during that window then you would have gotten a visa.

On the other hand, if you were over 21 (CSPA adjusted) in June of 2010 then you still would have had years before your priority date was due to be current. As it stands now it will still be about 4 more years before an F2B priority date in 2007 will be current.

FWIW, F4 cutoff dates have been moving quite slowly since the retrogression. They've only advanced 10 months in the past 15 calendar months. If they keep moving at this rate then it will be more than 6 years before your priority date is current.
