Hello

I submitted an application to petition my sister from the Philippines last week and got my NOA1. I know it will take more than 20 years to complete the process.

Now my question is how will the new proposed reform of Obama affect f4 visa , shall it make it faster or slower than what it is right now.

And will the F4 visa extends to my sister's spouse and daughter?

Given that ~90% of your wait time will be for the priority date, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say it won't affect it whatsoever.

Well the announcement is out but I have not read the details or seen them parsed, which makes this a terrible time to try to respond to this... however, everything I read before the announcement pointed to at least two possible actions that could accelerate the likes of F-4:

1- Capturing certain unused immigrant visas from the past and applying them to other categories

2- Changing how immigrant visas are counted... this one can be huge. A family of 5 under F-4 eats away 5 immigrant visas right now whereas under a different interpretation, the could only use up a single IV.

Hello

....

And will the F4 visa extends to my sister's spouse and daughter?

Yes.

Hi I just want to know.. I'm 23 y/o right now.. Priority date of my father was Feb, 2, 1991.. I don't know what's the meaning of case creation date but it was dated April 17, 1991.. Petition got approved last September 14, 2011 .. We received an interview letter August 12, 2014 to our surprise I was still included even if i'm 22 that time.. BTW.. Oct. 5, 1991 was my birthday.. our scheduled interview was rescheduled to January 5, 2014.. I just want to know the odds i'm facing.. so that I can prepare for the worst..
