You are incorrect, as she is over 21- thus the OP has another 3+ years to wait before the visa will be processed.

The OP put their filing location as Vermont. This is what I found in VSC's processing times.

I could very well be missing something.

Her child is in the F2B category, they are currently processing priority dates of March 05 for visas. The child has three more years (give or take) before a visa becomes available. It is not uncommon for these applications to be placed at the end of the line since processing them today or next month will not change when the child can apply for a visa.

If you files in July 10 then yes it is 5 years to wait. If you filed in March 08 as you said in your first post, then it is 3 years.

Oh I see what you mean, so even if his I-130 is approved, a visa number wouldn't come available until three years down the road anyway.
