I am a child of A U.S CITIZEN unmarried (under 21) I just file my I-130 application how long will it take.....

Answer 1

Since you are unmarried and under 21, then you fall into the IR (immediate relative) category. You can expect a wait of at least 8-12 months, but be aware the time could be much longer depending on the complexity of your case.

If your circumstances change within this time i.e. you get married or you turn 21, then your category will change to either F1 or F3, which will extend your waiting time to about 5 or 8 years.
