side question. how long for a us citizen to bring over their child who is over 21 and married? 10 years plus as well or not an option

 

 

Op, you'll need to get familiar with the visa bulletin so you can keep tabs on how long it takes a visa to be available for your petitions.

Age doesn’t matter if married. 13-15 years.

Nothing about immigration to the US is easy, fast or inexpensive.

that doesnt make sense, if the kids are like 14 now but like 25 at that time, how is that their fault? 

It’s no one’s ‘fault.’   The wait time for visa availability is due to all the other people who filed before you.

CSPA might help. It allows the children in question to subtract the time the I-130 was pending from their age as of the date of the priority date becoming current and USCIS as a matter of policy takes a veeeeeeery long time to approve those severely backlogged petitions. I can't find processing times for F4s, but for F3s in LIN it's 102-133 months. This is really good because it allows the derivative children to subtract a huge chunk of time from their real ages for immigration purposes. I-130 takes 10 years to get approved, as long as the child is under 31 when priority date becomes current they'll get to tag along, as long as they don't marry because CSPA won't help there.

For majority of the world (outside Mexico and Philippines), F4 (PD: 03/22/2007) is backlogged about 20 months more than F3 (PD: 11/22/2008), considering that parents would take 5 years before they can naturalize, just go with F4 now, and down the line they could file an F3 petition, the two petitions won't conflict with each other. F3 also has the added benefit that if he were to divorce or become a widower, he'd be upgraded to F1 (PD:12/01/2014), and hey everyone says "till death does us apart" and half the marriages end in divorce. Children do get to tag along on an F1.

 

F1 - Unmarried children over 21 of US citizens

F3 - Married children of US citizens (regardless of age)

F4 - Siblings of US citizens (regardless of age or marital status)

Going to repeat myself as u posted in another post about bringing parents,  unmarried brother and now married sister,  husband and kids

 

That's a lot of people for an I 864 to support so look at the poverty guidelines closely to see if u can afford all these

CSPA applies only to the following people:

• Immediate relatives (including derivatives of widow(er)s);
• Family-sponsored preference principal applicants and derivative applicants;
• Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitioners and derivative applicants;
• Employment-based preference derivative applicants;
• Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) derivative applicants;
• Derivative refugees; and
• Derivative asylees.

 

The formula for calculating CSPA age is as follows:

Age at Time of Visa Availability - Pending Time = CSPA Age

 

 

The formula determining the length of time the petition was pending is as follows:

Approval Date - Filing Date = Pending Time

hello everyone,

 

other than my and my sibling birth certificate showing we share parents, what else is needed if she is married and has kids as her husband and children would be derivative beneficiaries in this case correct? 

I included her marriage certificate in the petition.

Just a reminder: Immigration to the U.S is a priveledge, not a right. They are not entitled to immigrate here, at any age. No one ever said it was fair.
