Thanks for the reply. The priority date on the buletin is showing 01 April 2010. My friends priority date is July 29, 2010. I saw two charts for the bulletin and could not figure out the difference between the two. Do you think it would still take 3-4 years?

Sorry I misunderstood the question. One parent was originally born in Canada. The actual son who is the beneficiary of the I-30 and son of the US citizen parent was born in Pakistan. The son became a Canadian citizen after marriage to his wife. They then came to the United States on a business visa.

the parents were not born in Canada but are Canadian citizens living in the United States with the children

the kids are 19 1/2 and 15 1/2. The kids were born in Canada.

Hi everyone: I am asking for some guidance and information for a friend. His father submitted a I-130 for his married son who had two children as well at the time. The following is as follows: I-130: Priority date: July 29, 2010 Notice of approval date: October 30, 2013 At the time the child and his family were living in Canada. Now they are residing in the US with an E visa status. I was confused looking at the visa bulletin for the final action dates vs action dates for preference categories. I assume there would be no need of NVC at this point since they are residing in the US. Any clarification and input would be appreciated. Trying to get a prediciton of the visa availability dates and next steps such as I-485 or anything we need to notify anyone of such as current status, etc. thanks in advance
