I-130 for daughter over 21

[fernando Urrea 0]

We submitted the I-130 application in September for our 25-year-old daughter. We are American citizens. How long will the case take?”

Unmarried Sons and Daughters of US citizens whose I-130s were filed on Oct 22, 2015 or earlier are just now receiving available visa numbers.

Is she single?

Let’s hope our cases take shorter, as Colombia doesn’t have so many of those, We applied on 2021 yet waiting and telling my children to be patient 

the average for these cases is 9 years

It's nothing to do with country. There are only a certain number of visas available for that category (worldwide), so there is a huge backlog before your children can even apply for a visa. You need to look at the Visa Bulletin (it's released monthly) to see what the latest is, but expect it to take many years. 

 

You've not answered the question above, is she married? If so, it's even longer.

Doh, sorry - thought you were the OP! Ignore my question about marriage, I see from your other post today you're green card holders and not citizens, so your children can't be married and you're in a different category to the OP.

Well F2b has been quicker than F1, my guess would be c 2035.

Oh, ok. I saw you'd posted on the F2B thread so I assumed you were GC holders. 

 

Yes, probably another 8 or so years as a very rough guide - longer if they get married in the meantime. 

 

Good luck.
