Thank you for that information Clancy!     It just doesn’t seem fair that so many do this the right way and spend so much time and effort going thru the “legal process” (as we did with my wife’s K-1 visa from VN), and then the illegals coming into the US are being given amnesty and privileges as if it is free candy.☹️
Just wondering if there are organizations or efforts to demand court action for “legal” applicants. It is so amazing that news media reports that the illegals are being granted proposed entitlements and yet nobody mentions the impossible “wait times” of those that follow the rules.

Depending on the USCIS service center that the petition gets assigned to, an I-130 for a sibling of a USC could be processed in around 2 years or could take more than 10 years.  Regardless of when the petition is processed, what really takes a long time for F4 (sibling of USC) visa cases is the wait time for visa number availability, which is currently 16+ years from petition filing date.  The reason it takes so long is that there is a very, very long line of applicants for this visa type, but the number of F4 visas available per year are limited by US immigration law.  Because the demand for F4 visas does not decrease, yet the annual quota set in law remains unchanged, the line and the resulting wait time gets longer every year.
 
In the meantime, your siblings-in-law may apply for B2 tourist visas if they wish.  If approved, they may travel to the US for short visits, even if there are petitions pending for them.
 

AGREED!!!........ now please,..........stop trying to make yourself "relevant". ( 3 weeks here, and already the expert ) Find another venue..................................or join a bowling league!

Geeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....................................just because it "worked for You".......doesn't qualify "it" as a guideline! Please....this is not amature hour. Don't give "advice" that you know nothing about just because "it worked for You"!..... Visajourney has proven, guidelines which should be adhered to, to get the best result. Being a 5 month rookie and giving advice to someone is not really your place. Some bimbo may have just passed "your" application through, but that does not qualify "you" to give an example for others to follow!
People need to use their heads............if you came to Visajourney looking for advice, then at least do "some" homework and read the guidelines.
It's ok to ask questions.....but at least try first to comprehend what you need to do first...there is plenty of "proven" wisdom here. There is also plenty of those who tell you false assumptions of what "WORKED FOR THEM"!. God bless You that you were lucky, but I seriously doubt it had anything to do with getting that stage of approval...............Geeeeeezzz...give me a break! DONT GIVE ADVICE THAT IS NOT PROVEN.....it could ruin someone else's dreams........let others of experience handle this part.

My previous experience with the interview process was just a few years ago in China.
I don't think anything has changed since then, but someone can correct me if i am wrong.
The medical is not much more than getting some vaccinations and a brief examination. When we went through this before the medical was an easy pass, and documented for the actual interview the next day...so I don't think you need to worry.

personal insults seem to be common from your neck of the woods. if you don't agree with someones opinion, then dont ask for opinions....this isn't burger king, everything in the US is not free.

Both of You waiting so patiently has got to have made your relationship a test for all time........My congrats to both of You!....so deserving!

Most of us have heard the stories before........."no text, no email"....STILL, after getting antsy, and checking 4-5 times a day on USCIS website, I phoned My Honey in VN last night @9:00pm, and told her I was going to bed...I had just checked the case. (there was the usual message still'initial review". Told her goodnight, but just checked 1 more time....WHAT!!!!!!!...did I punch in the wrong number?......I read it again, and looked at the hard copy again just to make sure, (as if I didn't know the number by heart already)...SURE ENOUGH!!!!! APPROVED April 24 !!!!......YEA!!!!!!!!! Boy, were we surprised!....so keep checking even if you did 5 times that day. Ya never know. Good luck to everyone else still waiting!

ITS NOT SELFISH TO WANT TO SEE "ONES' PETITION APPROVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE..BUT MAYBE SAYING IT 'OUTLOUD' SO TO SPEAK, AND KNOWING THAT THERE IS SOME INJUSTICE FOR SO MANY OTHERS WAITING IN LINE, IS KIND OF LIKE BELIEVING TAKING 'CUTS IN A LINE' AND JUSTIFYING IT JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GET WHERE YOU ARE GOING FASTER.
i DON'T BLAME YOU, AND NEITHER WOULD ANYONE ELSE HERE...BUT IT KIND OF IRRITATES SOME PEOPLE WHEN SOMEONE WANTS SOMETHING 'WHEN THEY WANT IT' NO MATTER IF IT AFFECTS OTHERS WRONGLY.
I BELIEVE 'FIRST IN LINE' DESERVES ALL THE ATTENTION, NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION...OTHERWISE GOING AHEAD OF OTHERS BEFORE YOU IS NO BETTER THAN JUSTIFYING THOSE DACA APPLICATIONS.
HERE'S HOPING YOU GET YOUR QUICK APPROVALS..BUT HOPING OTHERS BEFORE YOU GET THEIRS FIRST!...THE WAY IT OUGHT TO BE!

MAN..........What is wrong with so many people here?
Some folks just like making rude, and sarcastic comments to anothers comments.
Man, if You're that unhappy take it out in the gym, or do some jogging, or whatever!
If You're not part of the Family, then go somewhere else..............
Nobody here has the justification to be rude or insulting no matter what your opinion, or subject is.
