It's always good to know a little more about u
Assuming that u are a USC over the age of 21, no one can tell u how long it's gonna take to process not a lawyer or an IO if u send all the document and never receive a RFE it should take about 5 to 6 months since u live in CA a very big state I would add another 2 to 4 months.

Are the F_4 waiting times for-real?

Hello everyone,
I have a reality question. I just got my US citizenship This November 2009. I have 4 brothers in all and I was filling out their I-130 this weekend.

But I checked to see the Visa Bulletin and saw that the current priority processing times for their F4 category is AUGUST 1999.

Okay I guess this means they are AS AT TODAY processing the ones for those that filed their in 1999?

But thats 10 Year waiting time! Is this for real? Are there people who have filed for their sibling and it happened to be faster than stated?

Please can someone clear my eyes on this please?

If this long wait is true, are there people who may have given up even when it finnaly gets to their turn?

Or is it better to just submit the form and FORGET ALL ABOUT IT? I'm confused and dont wanna raise their hopes of coming here when infact TEN years is LIKE A LONG DECADE to just sit and wait for coming over..you get what I mean? I want to advice them accordingnly?

Please advise..thanks.

Advise them that visa numbers for F4 category is currently processing with PD Q3 2009 -- so that is approx 10 yrs and 2 months lag time.

10 yrs go by fast if you are not sitting and waiting.
