Petition for Relative - sister

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
This is a trend with U.S.C.I.S. to ship cases across the country for adjudication. That is because the agency is one with limited resources, and so wishes to be smart in distributing its workload among its service centers and field offices. Therefore when the work load is light in one center, the agency will ship more cases there in a certain category. To its credit, U.S.C.I.S. does announce most of these moves ahead of time.

I need a copy of I- 130

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Having a copy of an I-130 petition is not a requirement for a visa interview. Applicants may wish to have a copy of it just so that they can have a complete copy of their files, but the US consulate or embassy has the entire petition file which was forwarded to it by U.S.C.I.S. through the National Visa Center.

How long will it take if I petitioned my husband and children from the Philippines if I'm only a green card holder?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
Assuming that your U.S. citizen daughter is over 21 (otherwise, she cannot be a petitioner), a petition for her father will be an immediate relative petition; it should be approved in 5 months to 1 year; then an interview at the U.S. Consulate in the Philippines should happen within several months. Petitions for your daughter's brothers and sisters will be in F4 category; even though approvals of these petitions will take up to 2 years, the visas will not be available for your children for about 23 years (yes, the line is that long). If you are (or can become) a U.S. permanent resident, and sponsor your children, they could get their immigrant visas (green cards) in 2.5 years (if they are under 21) or in 10 years (if they are older than 21 but not married).
