Hi,

my aunt filed a petition for my mom in 1997(visa type is f-4).

we recieved the choice of agent form and completed and sent them back, choosing our aunt in the US as our agent.

They recieved-230 form 3 months ago and now waiting for us to send aditional documents required(passport,marriage certificates etc),it wil take another 3 weeks to send those documents to them.

Now what i want to know is that i m derivative beneficiary(cuz my mom being the beneficiary) and i wil turn 21 on january24,2009.

my questions are

1.How long will it take for the NVC take to complete the case and send to the embassy???

2.is there any way we can tell them to expedite the process???(they say that if a person immigrating to the US is about to turn 21 in two months only then they are to b informed and when they will recieve the documents passport etc i will surely b 6 months away from being 21)

3.The embassy takes months and make people wait for long times before calling for an interview???(e.g, our acquanted who submitted DS-230 in feb 2007 and interviewed in november means took 8 months untill they got their interview date).

what can i do cuz i m the gonna turn 21.....

is there any way to tell the embassy to expedite the process???]

plz help me and tell me some ways to expedite all the processes that our file will have to go through right from submmiting ds-230 to till interview date??

i tried to find some information in the forums of tthis websites but they were written in general form for all types of visa and couldnt get what i wanted....

my uncle(agent as well as petitioner) there in the US is doesnt know much about forums and browsing(all he knows is checking his email and open websites whose addresses are known to him,he cant do search on forums and goolge etc).so, tell me the ways and i will pass them onto my uncle to expedite....

thanks a lot for your help

1.Type of the visa is f-4.and i m derivative beneficiary

2.it was the fault of petioner.who did not know the name and wrote the wrong one.

what i culd interpret is that in columbia where the government has given u the right to change your name is not a problem at all.but in pakistan it doesnt happen.but in pakistan if someone changes his name.he is allowed to change after necessary advertisement in newspaper.but i dont know the NVC will accept it or not.

3. in a case of our relatives the embassy made them wait for 9 months????our priority date was current back in feb,08 i think.if the embassy takes 9 monhs in our case.what will happen??

our case was actually filed on 29 may 1997.

so our priority date was current almost 4 months back i guess.

we had sent the choice of agent papers back to them and paid the fee immigration visa application processing fee.

but we have a few problems please answer

1.we are collecting the papers like birth cirtificates,marriage certificates, and other papers the problem is that it is taking some time mainly due to red tapism.i.e, due to official work.how long our immigration visa application processing free will remain valid.i saw the papers it says that u have to submit papers within one year from paying ur fee bill.but it we will take a bit more time.how can we tell them that please dont let our fee go waist and we are collecting the papers.

2.second problem is that our cousin whose name was not written correctly while pettioning.his name is hissan rabi but on the petition it was written as hissan munir.is there any way to tell them that we had written the wrong name????will they make him wait for years for this???or it is an easy job??can u please tell me a case like that????and what happened in that case???

3.moreover i will turn 21 on 24 january of the next year.if we dont get a call from the embassy or consulate within 7 months(or nine months adding two months took them to approve the petition).will i be left here???if we get a call and are interviewed will my age be freezed for immigration purpose.i read somewhere that the age will be frozen once interviewed.is that true?????

please tell me how long it will take from submitting the ds-230 to get a date for an interview.

please help!!!

i m from pakistan.

is their any eexample in my case or a case similar to that of mine???

thanks

ok.i want to make a correction.

our case was actually filed on 29 may 1997 not in 1998

so our priority date was current almost 4 months back i guess.

i was born on 24 jan,1988.

my aunt(who is a citizen of the US) filed a petition for us immigration (for my parents, me and my brother) under the category of fourth preferance in feb 1998.

We had recieved 'the choice of agent' papers and now recieved the immigrant visa application processing fee bill papers.

how much time will it take till my parents leave for the US(on average)???????

according to the visa bulletin(monthly) the priority dates that are current in june are upto cutoff date of 22 AUG,1997 for fourth preferance in the family section.

making a guess i think by the time our priority date become current i will be over 21.

1.could i be able to go with my parents to the US????

2.what does the damn Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) say about my case????

3.in case i fail to go with my parents then how long i will have to wait untill i migrate to the US(on average) in case my parents immediatey leave for US????

Please tell me in details about my case.

I m desperate about it.

please explain.

thanks.

1.somebody even said that i cant go with my parents becoz my aunt cant file a petition for her nephews and nieces and that only my parents can file a petition when they go to the US.

can CSPA give me some kind of benefit????

if yes then what kind of that benefit would be?????

2.some say that bocoz i will turn 21 soon i wil not b able to go with my parents.

3.some say that When you turn 21 next January, it wan't mean your are 21 for immigration purpose... 21 for imm. purpose is calculated:

age for imm purpose: your age at the time PD becomes current - (minus) number of days I-130 was pending (date of approval - received date).

Meaning, if your aunt's I-130 was approved in Feb 2000, you wan't "age out" until Jan 2010 according to that rule. There is more than that to consider but this is a good start. This is part of CSPA and it helps you. So, why "damn"?

I m still not sure which would apply to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

please help me....

i will provide more information on request.
