How old are you when your dad filed the I-130?

I was 22 years years . And I received an approval notice from Uscis on 18th March 2017

You are in the F1 family based category.  Currently, the wait is 7-8 years for an immigration visa in that category.  Your case will stay at the NVC for another 5-6 years before you are eligible for further processing.

 

Google "Visa Bulletin."

My dad hired an attorney. And a friend of mine went through the same process and it didn't keep that long

Your dad's lawyer will tell you the same thing I told you.

 

Your friend is not you.  There are many categories.  If your friend was under 21 when his USC parent petitioned him, then he would be in a different category than you.

The current wait for your visa category (unmarried children over 21) is 7-8 years as stated above. If you marry someone in that period of time it will take even longer because you won't qualify for this category anymore (you'll be married). And we know nothing about your friend, so it's hard to tell why it look less time for his case.

Your case will remain at NVC till your Priority date will become current. Now they are issuing visas for F1 PD 08December2010. Check it:

Your case will be open in 5 years.

Never compare your case to anyone else's. There are various reasons why your "friend" got through the process quicker. Your case is your case. It will take at least 7 years for you. Doesn't matter how many people you know who immigrated faster than you - having friends in the process will not change the speed of your processing at all.
