Petitioning unmarried son over 21?

[carmona]

hello, I am wondering if theres anyone here who already petitioned for their unmarried son or daughter over 21? how many years is the waiting period? I really want to know because I am planning to apply for my 2 sons but I am only a greencard holder (immigrant), I heard that it will take a long time if I am not a citizen.
Pls. repply if anyone here knows the answer to my question. Thank you .:confused1::dontgetit:

I'm sorry, yes, you are in for a long wait. See the August Visa Bulletin (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_3269.html)

It will take many years as a LPR. When will you become a citizen? It will make the process much shorter...by years.

Can be longer for Citizens...

But that assumes the current time lines remain constant.

The Buletin linked above will keep you updated. Only use as a guide as it tells you how long people coming to the front of the line have waited.

:)Thank you all for answering my questions! I've been in the U.S for over a year ,and I will be able to apply to become citizen after 3 or so years.

Which country are you from? It depends where you're from.. If youre not from the Philippines then being a citizen is faster but if you are, start the application... However, it will take you years.. and i mean min 8yrs of wait...

I am a Canadian Native American and received my green card in May 2005. I applied for the I-130 for my unmarried son over the age of 21 in July 2008 and just got it approved today (Sept 20, 2008.
