How long will I have to wait?

Question

my dad is a citizen from seattle (before he was a LPR). Im 21 yrs old now. how long do I have to wait for the petition? if he just filed it just thi year.

Answer 1

The type of petition filed by your father falls into the F1 family preference category. For most countries, the current wait is a little over 6 years, although if you're from the Philippines or Mexico, the wait is longer. You can look it up for yourself on the Visa Bulletin in the immigrant visa section at travel.state.gov.
