I-130 for 2 kids and a wife, philippines. about to file this month. thanks!

As an LPR, you must file separate I-130 petitions for your wife and children.

It takes about 3-4 years for an LPR to petition for a wife and unmarried children under age 21 from the Philippines. Your wife and these children will be in the F2a category. The current Priority Date (PD) for Filipinos is Jan 1, 2008. The PD is the date that USCIS receives the completed I-130s. Only those with a PD prior to Jan 1, 2008 are eligible for visas. That is why it takes 3-4 years right now for these people to be eligible for visas.

It takes about 12 years for an LPR to petition for an unmarried son or daughter over age 21. If a child gets marry before you become a US citizen, the petition is automatically revoked and becomes dead.

It is not 5 months. This petition is being sent by an LPR NOT A US CITIZEN. If the petitioner was a CITIZEN then it would be less time.

USCIS only adjudicates the I-130. NVC is the one to assign the immigrant visa number based on current priority dates. You can see Feb 11 bulletin here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5228.html

F2A current PD date is 01JAN08 so that's a three year wait for visa (except for Mexico beneficiaries their PD is 01APR05)

I see you're a new member - you will learn along the way all the nuances of the immigration process. Guides and wiki on this website will help.

USCIS only does a bit of the paperwork- it is the waiting for a priority date that takes time, not the paperwork.

Yes, I am sure.

You need to learn more about the immigration process.

The I-130 which is approved by USCIS only establish that the petitioner is eligible to petition for the beneficiary. It is not an application for an immigrant visa or a green card. USCIS has a goal of processing I-130s in five months. It is not a guarantee that it would be approve in five months. It is a goal.

After approval of the I-130, the petition is sent to the NVC to await for an available visa. The availability of a visa is dictated by the Visa Bulletin. For an LPR petitioning for an unmarried son or daughter over the age of 21, the wait is 12 years. See here; http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html

This is the time for approval of the I-130. It is only the first step in the process of getting an immigration visa. The beneficiary still has to wait for the Priority Date to become current before the beneficiary can apply for an immigration visa.

You do not understand the immigration process. Please go and read the "Guides" provided on this site.

Did you yourself called the USCIS to check if you need to file separate forms for spouse and minor child? My husband filed only one I-130 for me and our 2yr old daughter. It was approved already. Now my problem is, I dont know if my daughter is included in the approval, for in the notice that we received, my name is the only one written in it. Does it applies to my daughter? (Crossing fingers, hoping it does). I havent call the USCIS.

If you are US citizen...It takes one year,,,by 8 months for the approval,,,you're wife will go for an interview and your including your son/daughter, underage for further months...It's K4 visa, If your not us citizen, much better to take your citizen first,.
