Hello Everyone,

My sister petitioned for me at August 2011 and received acknowledgment. currently I have been living in Bangladesh and got married 4 years back. We have a baby as well.

Can anyone please tell me

  • How long do I have to wait? Do I have to do anything to make the process faster?
  • Would I be able to add my wife and baby with this petition or I have to make another application separately?

Thank you very much for your valuable experience.

It’s a 14 years wait period for siblings visa. Yes you can add your wife and your baby.

May be 4-5 years more of wait now.

Once your sister gets email from NVC to start the process in around 4 years, you can add you spouse and kids info that time so you all can immigrate together.
