You might try to find the "wait list" for the type of Visa F2 for immediate relatives of LPR's. I've seen it somewhere but cannot seem to find it. Anyway, USCIS can tell you what "cases" are currently being processed according to the date received by USCIS. Visas are issued as they become available at the NVC according to which type of visa. I really don't know how long the wait would be. However, I have never known any Filipino that has brought their asawa to the U.S. in less than 5 years - maybe it can be done, I just don't know.

Either way you are looking at circa 2112.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Not sure which visa you are referring to.

The F-2 dependent visa is a nonimmigrant visa which allows dependent spouses and children of F-1 student visa holders to enter into the U.S.

The F1 student visa is a nonimmigrant visa which allows foreign students to enter into the U.S. to attend a full course of study at colleges, universities, conservatories, academic high schools (subject to strict regulations) and institutions with language training programs.

F2 here is being used as shorthand for Family 2nd Preference
