[francois90 0]

hello guys

my aunt applied for my mother in may 2003 i130 application and in the begining my case status was Decision then a year ago i found it went back to acceptance in

the same time we recived a letter wich is:

the enclosed information pertains to your interest in immigrating to the united states of america ,the information concerning your registration is noted at the end of the letter

unfortunately visa numbers are not presently availble for your use you will be notified when further consideration can be given to processing your application for immigration ,the reason for this delay is that there are more applicants for visas than there are immigrant visa numbers avialble under the limitation prescribed by law for some visa categories for example f3 ,this delay could be many years ,should you wish to know which priority dates are currently being processed, you may call the state department's visa office

you are cautioned that you must not make any firm plans ,such as disposing of property giving up jobs ,or making travel arrangements at this time we have no way of predicting when it will be possible to proceed with your immigrant visa application

you need not check with us further unless you need to report a change of address or a change in your personal situation which may effect your entitlement to an immigrant visa

we will keep your case on file untill further action is possible ,when communicating with this office either by telephone or letter ,you must always refer your name and case number exactly as they appear below

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and when my aunt calls the uscis they keep tellin her everything is okay i just wanna make sure of it.... unfortunatley they don't tell when the application will be approved :S

do you mean to say that she never received the approval of the i130? the i130 should be approved and sent to the NVC or National Visa Center and then wait until the priority date becomes current.

the date means they are currently processing 130 that were filed in 2007. that's why I'm saying that she should have received the approval a long time ago.

If it was approved then the i130 isn't at te USCIS center any more, there is no change on the website, the i130 has been sent to NVC and there it will sit. Depending on the country, the waiting time for siblings is more than 10 years. that's why they send letters to not sell homes or do anything because there is a very long wait.

What country is your mom from?

then it was approved an at the NVC, your aunt shouldn't be checking the website or calling, there is no further need for the uscis center. unfortunatly there is nothing that can be done, the waiting is over 10 years in total, she has already waited 8. when the time comes the NVC will contact your aunt and request more payments and forms until the file is complete. if the priority date is current, then they will send your mom the interview. that won't happen for 3 or 4 years more, currently they are working with the year 2000.

you have to check every month the visa bulletin. i'll copy the link for next month's bulletin. You're mom's category is F4, siblings of USC

She would get an IR1 visa which becomes a temp GC on entry.

So when her number becomes current she can start the process which takes some time then she has 6 months to activate it once she has it.

thanks Boiler for the info do u know any way to make the process faster???

[JimVaPhuong 4,863]

Wait! I'm confused!

Your aunt applied for your mom, correct? That means it was a family preference F4 visa category - sibling of a US citizen, right? You could get a derivative visa as long as your CSPA age was under 21 years. However, if you've aged out then there's no visa category you could be automatically changed to. Your aunt has no petitionable relationship with you. The visa category they cited in the letter - F3 - is for a married son or daughter of a US citizen. Do you have a parent who is a US citizen?

What's going on?

JimVaPhuong thanks for your reply

no my parents are egyptians but my aunt asked the lawyer about the age he told her that our application is stick to the old law not the new one i didn't get it so well bs what i get is that the old law allow me to get the visa untill i become 28 years old ,,, the real problem to me is that i want to make the process fast

because the situation in egypt is not comfortable of course u've heard what is happening to christians ...

thanks again JimVaPhuong

[Boiler 43,761]

I have never heard of CSPA extending 7 years, I would definitely heck up on that

I was commenting about your mothers petition and her emigration.

yeah but also keep in mind that me and my father

when my aunt applied an application for my mother that application include me as her son and my father as her husband.

[Boiler 43,761]

It would not have, that only becomes an issue when a visa number is available.

If she had divorced you father for example he would no longer be eligible.

If she subsequently had children who are eligible, they would be included. Aged out children are not.

She would get an IR1 visa which becomes a temp GC on entry.

So when her number becomes current she can start the process which takes some time then she has 6 months to activate it once she has it.

An IR-1 visa is for a spouse of a US citizen who has been married for more than 2 years. In this case, it is a US citizen petitioning for a sibling (F3 family preference category).

Your aunt filed the petition in 2003 for your mother. There is no old law or new law that affects you. The only that does is CSPA which was passed in 2000.

yeah but also keep in mind that me and my father

when my aunt applied an application for my mother that application include me as her son and my father as her husband.

Your aunt applied for your mother. Your aunt did not apply for you or your father. The law said that when her Priority Date becomes current, your mother can bring her husband and children with CSPA age under 21. When you turned 21, you aged out. CSPA may apply to you.

[Jojo92122 1,924]

When is your birthday?

You need to find out when the petition for your mother was approved. Your aunt should have gotten an approval notice. Without the approval date, there is no way to know how long CSPA will protect you. Either get the notice from your aunt or she needs to contact USCIS and request a duplicate letter.
