I currently live in Canada with my parents and my uncle has sponsored my dad for permanent U.S. immigration. My uncle is doing F4 Visa, for brother/sister. My dad got the VISA approval this past September, but no VISA's available yet because of too many applicants.

I'm curious to know, if my dad gets sponsored, will he get his Green Card right away? Or will we have to wait a few more years after he's landed, to get his Green Card/LPR? Apparently, this will affect if I'm able to immigrate with my dad at the same time.

Again, here are the dates:

Petition date: April 2003

Petition approval: August 2009

Date that my dad received VISA Number: (Unknown)

My date of birth: August 1988

P.S. I know I'm 21 right now and would be considered an adult, but under the Child Protection Status Act, I could be still considered a child when the VISA number becomes available.

No greencard until you land in the USA...

YMMV

2 weeks to 1 month AFTER he lands in USA (ie - go through a POE)

he'll receive the Green Card at the address in the USA.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

not every child aged out qualifies for the CSPA, you'll have to find out if you do. Once your dad is here, he will get the GC.
