If you received a Letter from USCIS :

The applicant has been approved. We have notified the consulate listed above that the applicant's status has been adjusted to that of a lawful permanent resident.[/b][/b]

Priority date : October 2006

What does it means to us? How many years do we need to wait?

Thank you

Who is the LPR applying for? If it is saying Priority Date of OCT 2006 by knowing who you applied for it can help with how much longer you need to wait.

PLease provide a little more info

Ok what this means is your petiton has been approved by the USCIS, however you must wait until a visa number is availavle, which currently they are working on visa's for LPR's who petioned their spouse and Child in May of 2004. If you were petitooned in 2008 whatever month you will need to keep an eye on the visa bulltin located here http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin...letin_4406.html . You are considered category 2A and they are processing petions filed in May of 2004. How long before you wife can become a citizen? This may help to speed up the process by a year or 2 depending.

Ok however you still have a wait of about 4 years either way. At least now that she has her GC she can go an visit you. Good Luck in the process.

How old is your daughter? Did your wife apply for her separately from you? Currently you are in the F2a category (spouse and children under 21 years old of LPR). If your daughter turns 21 years old, she may have a longer wait than you.

I understand your situation differently. You were included in a petition for your wife, and now that she became permanent resident, you may get visas (consulate) or adjust status (USA). The letter confirms that your wife became PR, and consulate is notified that they can continue with your case. That's why there was I-864 filed: Application for Action (to get visa for you) on an Approved Application (your wife's permanent residency).

just to add - the info you got from the others would be true if your wife as PR petitioned for you and her daughter (which is what your heading suggests), but it could be that you are under "follow to join". I urge you to check that possibility as it would mean no extra wait for an immigrant visa number to become available to you.

She has to file SEPARATE I-130s for you and daughter

Reading this post seems to me that your son is in the military. He will be eligible to become a USC after 3 years of service. Why not have him petition for you then.

Just my 2c.

Son, when he becomes a USC, can apply for Dad as an Immediate Relative. However, USC Son petitioning for Filipino sister will take 23 years. Best route is for Mom to file separately for Dad and daughter.

The OP's situation is unclear to me. His wife either filed one I-130 application for him (and not their daughter) or he is following based on his wife's employment visa. Either way, his wife needs to file for their daughter to protect her. She will benefit from the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA). Wife can upgrade the applications when she becomes a USC. If the application is redundant, then it only cost money. If the application is necessary, then daughter has an opportunity to immigrate to the US.

Web62000, you need to see an immigration lawyer.

What form(s) did your wife file?
