us citizen petitioning a sibling and the whole process completed in one year. Is this true?

[GABY Y LUIS 2]

Hello

So I heard about this new law that's only lasting from aug 1 to aug 15. That a US citizen can petition for his/her silbling and the whole process will be completed within one year. I have done research about this and haven't found much on it, so I will like to know if this is true???

Definitely not true.

I heard that too. My Fiance was telling me but he thought it was for family members not just siblings

It's probably F2A category being current which has absolutely nothing to do with siblings.

This is true, I petitioned for my stepdaughter at the same time as my wife, at our AOS, somehow her I-130 from me was "misplace". I didn't think it was necessary to bring my duplicate applications in. But got it to them the very next day. Wife's green card came in two weeks, later, we didn't get her daughters conditional green card in some 45 days later, and was also dated 45 days later.

But we were lucky, met others on this board that received theirs over 90 days later and had to file and pay for a completely new I-751 for that child. Plus all that evidence over again.

Also if our AOS only took 12 months instead of 13 months, my stepdaughter would have been under 18 when my wife received her US citizenship. No amount of begging would change this, 18 is 18 years old. So she had to wait an extra two years with another 1,350 miles of driving and additional fees. Can only wonder if they do this to get more fees.

This is more of what you can expect from dealing with the USCIS!

If somebody is telling you 'give us X amount of money and we'll get you a visa in a year, but you have to do it RIGHT NOW' then it's a scam... there are plenty of people trying to prey on would-be immigrants, especially ones who don't know their rights or speak English well.

In our case petitioning for an unmarried son over 21 with an I-130, 33 months was just about right with the California Service center. Only evidence we had to send in, was my wife's prior marriage certificate, her divorce papers, current marriage certificate, copy of her US citizenship certificate, and a translated copy of her son's birth certificate.

The former is a paper trail proving that is her son since their last names are different. Never a request was made for additional evidence, and after about 2 1/2 years, we received an I-793c from the USCIS that her petition was approved, then transferred to the NVC for processing.

That was about five years ago, still waiting. A child under 21 and single, should go must faster. And either the step parent or biological parent can petition. Only done at the Vermont office, average time is 7.4 months, but again only the USCIS, still shifted to the NVC for further processing.

Controlled by the executive branch, and now would help if you child is from the Middle East or Africa. And they do have their limits for so many visas per year.
