Hi Experts, really need your advice, my brother has filed for my (his sister) in May-2007 and still I have not heard anything from the US immigration department. It has been almost 16 years now and still waiting for the response for the F4- file.

 

When my brother filed for me, I was in India but currently, I am a Canadian Citizen.

 

Can anyone help me on the timeline and waiting period and is there any contact information that I can use to write or contact the US immigration dept?

 

Thank you in Advance.

You still have a few years.

 

What do you want to write them about?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Here is an excerpt from the September 2023 Visa Bulletin:

Large number of applicants and a fixed number of visas

I think it was a rant

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
