the receipt date is Jan 22, 2010

the notice date is Feb 1st 2010 

PD date is  Jan 18, 2010

the kids were 10 & 14 bay then.

I guess approval date is receipts date

No use guessing the approval date..as it will throw off any CSPA calculation. Though it’s possible for them to approve it in a month ..they usually took a few years to look at and adjudicate. 
You need to be looking at an actual paper notice that says “approval “.

 

Try searching online and input case number, it should show last action …ex On xxx we approved…

 

Also as @manyfudge points out…dates and categories are confusing..Please redact the notice and upload a copy.

Your married (?) sister is being sponsored by your mother?

 

You said that her priority date just became current.  That is not possible because the current priority date form F3 is 8-December-2008.

for their case we should look at table B (dates for filing) since they are in the early stage of gathering their documents and send it to NVC

If you are looking at table B , under F-3 , then you should understand your priority date is not current and even though you can complete NVC documentation and be DQ ….BUT they ( NVC) nor YOU can do a CSPA calculation until PD in table A becomes current. 
Just submit docs and wait and watch

 

And if your sister is now unmarried she can claim F-1 ( current) and push the process

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.  
 

Unless your sister has legal status in the US and qualifies to adjust status, table A is controlling.  In other words, if they are outside the country, table A is the one to look at for CSPA calculation.  You can google to confirm.   Table B just means her paperwork advances but not to the point where it can get forwarded to the embassy/consulate.

Section A: Final Action Dates

The “final action dates” chart shows which priority dates have reached the front of the line. These green card applications are ready for approval right now.

Section B: Dates For Filing

The “dates for filing” chart shows which green card applicants who are living outside of the United States should go ahead and submit their application with the National Visa Center (NVC)—even though a green card is not ready just yet. The cut-off dates in the “dates for filing” chart are slightly later (1-10 months) than those in the “final action dates” chart, which allows green card applicants to file their applications that much sooner.

The “dates for filing” chart is primarily directed at people who will be applying for a green card from outside the United States, but USCIS publishes a page called “when to file your adjustment of status application” every month that indicates whether green card applicants living in the United States can submit their green card application based on the visa bulletin’s “dates for filing” chart or whether they need to wait to meet the dates in the “final action dates” chart.

O I see, so, at least another year or so, will be added to her age out number and she is not gonna be qualified!

All sorts of prediction data out there…most say it will be a few years out

That was indeed a rapid approval and neither child will be CSPA protected /qualified since they both aged out before priority date became current and there was no delay between filing and approval.

Many thanks,

 

2 week I-130 approval - first time I have seen anything that fast.  Closest I have seen was 2 months.

 

Family preference petitions are one of the rare cases where you want USCIS to take as much time as possible.  Odd to say this, but it was unfortunate that USCIS was so prompt.

 

EDIT:  Only choice is for the mom to to petition them as soon as she arrives in the US, category F2B, as long as the children remain unmarried.  It will take about 8 years for them to get their F2B visa.

In general USCIS does take a long time.

 

But for family preference visas, the wait is due to annual statutory limits on the visas.

Our file became current on May visa Bulletin that was released on April 13, but we haven't been contacted by NVC yet;

Do you happen to have an idea about the timeline? 

Thanks,
