How long does f2a takes?

[Ming_You 0]

Hello all,

My father is LPR and has filed i-130 for me since June 2013 and it was approved on 11 September 2013.

And my brother is cosponsor just paid AOS fee last month.

My question is how long does it take for me to get interview and come to the us?

I am 16 yr

Thanks for your answer!

It may take 5 months or a year.....

It takes 1-5 months until your case will be completed. Then 1-2 months before you'll receive Interview Letter.

Did he send the AOS package already?

You can check here if the IV fee is already available: https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

Looks like precious time wasted.

Yes it will affect the process coz it will take longer since you don't comply with NVC requirements immediately.

You can fill out and submit the DS261 now. You'll need your case number and invoice identification number: https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

Once IV fee invoice is available, pay it, print cover sheet and attach it to your (beneficiary's) civil documents then mail it via courier to NVC.

sorry for disturbing you again,

my question is: does it take long for DS261 to be accepted ?

Mine took 15 calendar days but it was the old DS3032 format. I'm not sure how fast they accept the DS261 now.

You can always check the CEAC site so you won't miss it. Be pro active this time, ok?
