Hi all , i would like to know how long can it take after approuval of an i130 process to have the residence: im a foreing citizen , they approuve me since march 2010 , my citizen brother is the petitioner ,i read in the immigration website it can take about six months after approuval ,each time i call the immigrattion said they are treating 2001 files but mine is 2006 , i wonder if that will take years to have the residence? and how can it go faster?
Justin's answer: Hi, Using your brother as a petitioner takes a very long time. You will want to look at the Visa Bulletin from the State Department to understand what cases they are working on at any given moment. There is no way to speed the case up. You would have to have a different petitioner all together (for example: a US citizen wife or employer) to get here more quickly.
Can a person who was born in another country but became a US citizen get deported?: Can a man who was born in another country and came to the US when he was 6, got his US citizenship thru his dad who became a citizen before the child was 18yrs old, get deported even if they are a US citizen for drugs and firearm possesions? If by any chance he is in jepordy of being deported Can marrying his son's mother who is US born citizen help him stay in the country?
Justin's answer: US citizens can't get deported in most cases. If the citizenship was obtained through fraud and misrepresentation they might but that doesn't appear to be the case that you're describing.
