Hello my name is Emanuel Salcedo and my uncle (momґs brother) filled a I-130 in the month of APRIL 2001. I have been checking the visa bulletin and it says that this month they should actually pass April and go all the way to the cases filled in August. Iґm currently living in Peru and I want to know how much more time I should wait. What worries me is that I turned 22 this year but I was only 13 when the case was submitted. It was approved on November of 2005 so...does that mean I would qualify also? Or would I have to wait for my parents to get approved and them have them file for me? Thank you for all your help.


On November 17, 2005, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Since you were under 21 on Nov 17, 2005 you qualify to be processed and receive a immigrant visa with your mother, you may want to call NVC to get a clear picture as to approximately when that will happen, it may be still be several months before it will be processed at the embassy.

You have 4 years and 7 months of buffer here. In other words, you will receive an immigrant visa with your mother as long as you are less than 25 years and 7 months old when her visa is issued.
