Hello Ronak20

A US citizen sponsoring an unmarried son over 21 would be categorized as First Preference which mean it won't take 7 years. The wait period for those in that category is about 6-12 months. Check the following link.

That is incorrect; you are perhaps thinking of minor kids, this one is over 21, thus F1 preference; they are working on 2008 files for most countries. Here are the official wait times:

F1 does take 7 to 8 years is correct, my mum petitioned for me in July 2007, I only had my interview and received my visa early last year.

Hello Again Ronak

Please clarify if you are a GC holder or a US citizen. Also, is your son 21 or 26 or you have sons in both ages?

your other thread is absolutely different from this!!!

PS: Dear Mods, I have found discrepancies with both these threads, so yes, I suppose, this is a call-out!!!

I am son.my age is 26. I am am unmarried. My father is GC holder. Soon he will become citizen. I was curious whether citizenship changes processing time.

hi

not really, it's still over 7 years of waiting

Plus you have to stay unmarried during that time. Otherwise you move into another category for which the wait is even longer.

Has your father submitted a petition as yet for yot? Because he could when he was a LPR.
