Duration between the date of I-130 approval and the date of visa availability?

does your first sentence mean that by having this I-130 petition related to my mother, the possibility of getting student visa for me will reduce dramatically (regardless of being derivative beneficiary or not) ?

I think @appleblossom is saying is that the I130 petition for your mother with you being a potential derivative may not have much impact on a possible student visa application by you.  More than likely you will age out of any F4 benefit, so you can attempt the student visa.

 

Good Luck!

No, not after approving the I-130 petition, just from today. The I-130 petition could be approved tomorrow, or in several years, no way of knowing that.

 

I'm surprised it hasn't been approved already if it was filed in 2013, are you sure it hasn't? Average processing time given is 4.5 years. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ But it's hugely helpful it it really has taken 10+ years to approve it if you are trying to qualify under CPSA. 

 

If you can give more details of ages/dates, then people can tell you if they think there's any chance under CPSA or not. Presumably you're a child of the sister? 

4.5 years for a sibling petition?

Thank you for your encouraging message

For the approval of the I130, not for visa issue.
