The I-130 form according to the http://www.immihelp.com/processing-times/ site says 5 months processing time.. I guess this is the estimated time JUST for the application to be approved. .. how long additional is the wait time for the actual family member (from Japan) to come live and work here? (i'm guessing years?) whoa!!

forgot to ask... i thought a family member who has us citizen status as opposed to just having green card status has quicker processing time due to being us citizen but it seems process takes longer.. am i correct? -
Parents and spouses of US citizens are immediate relatives , so there is no wait.Originally posted by nakamuru View Post
Just I-130 processing and then consular processing. Whole thing takes about a year in total from I-130 to visa.
If the family members are siblings or adult children of US citizens then the current wait for japan nationals is 7 to 13 yrs depending upon
which category. Look up visa bulletin on travel.state.gov for wait times.Comment

In one previous post you posted she is 19 and we told you she could immigrate fast under F2A. But if she is over 21, then it is a long wait.Originally posted by nakamuru View PostComment

ok yes i meant she is under 21 (not 21) she is 19, 20 this march 28th. So through F2A are we looking at about one year wait? or 2 years?? I was told from site it takes like 5 months for application to be processed alone..... What did you mean by Japanese national that its 7-13 year wait... thats pretty crazy wait time!! thanks so much as im really relying on your posts to find out what i need to do.. internet how so much information im not sure where to start reallyOriginally posted by peace999 View PostComment
