You need to check the CIS website for the waiting time for your priority date.  It depends on what country you are from - some countries have no waiting list, others have 15-20 year waiting lists.

under section 336 of the INA you have the right to request a hearing before the us district court if USCIS has not made a determination on your application with in 120 days of your examination.  \n\ni think it is called a mandamus.  fil this and they will defintely speed it up.

You have to go the the US High commission and you have to submit your attested finger prints (Attested from the Ministry of external affairs of the country you are currently citizen of) along with the copy of your passport. Then the high commission will send it to FBI and you should have the Cleareance within 1-2 Months.

If you are a US citizen, you can petition for her, the application is called I-130.  The application is about $150 and you need your birth certificate and hers to show you are siblings and proof of your status.  However, it will take about twelve years for her to be able to come.  If any of her parents are citizens and they apply for her, it will be faster.

USCIS confirmed that they have a backlog of receipts to send out owing to the cap having been reached so soon. They indicated that some will take an additional 4 to 6 weeks (after May 26) to issue.\n\nIn the interim, you can either call the USCIS National Customer Service Line (good luck with that one), or contact the bank that issued the check for the filing fees and get a copy of the canceled check. On the back of the check will be your USCIS receipt number, and you can use that to track your petition online. \n\nGood luck

Your questions is too vague.  I am assuming that you child is not a USC.  To file a petition for you child requires that you be over the age of 21.  Your American passport has no real play in this scenario.

It depends on the status of the matter it is a case to case basis. If the mother is an american citizen it is faster for the daughter to be petitioned.

You may be an American citizen anywhere in the world.  \n\nHowever, what you are asking for is probably ILLEGAL.  That's why the consulate won't help her.  Neither will I.

I believe so.  I would call either the immagration office, or a lawyer that gives free advice.  They can tell you if there is any longer wait time, etc.

You are entitled to US citizenship if he was naturalized before you were born. Otherwise, you could have gotten a US immigrant visa if he petitioned for you, but the petition would have been automatically invalidated by his death if the visa had not been issued yet.\n\nSorry.

I'm sorry but your mom sux.She is obviously defensive.If you are of age you can become a citizen on your own.

Since you are US citizen there is no waiting period involved because this category is not governed by any quota or per country limit.  The usual processing time from filing an I-130 to getting an immigrant visa is up-to 6 months. Since the CIS office where you filed the petition is taking a longer time for processing the I-130, you should go ahead and file for K3.  K3 will be processed much more quickly and probably before September 2006.\n\nOnce your I-130 petition is approved by CIS they will forward it to NVC that will log in the case.  NVC will notify you for providing an affidavit of support for you wife.  Once you submit the correct affidavit of support, NVC will forward your case to Chennai. Chennai will then schedule your wife for a visa interview and subsequent issuance of an immigrant visa.\n\nSo you can see it will be another 4 months minimum after the approval of I-130 for your wife to get an immigrant visa.

"After six months of marriage she will become an American Citizen. "  This is totally untrue.\n\nYour wife should file for an adjustment of status.  Here are the forms she needs.  Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/LPRApplication.htm

File a petition in the US for naturalization as US citizen.  Prove it by documents showing that you married an American citizen, had been living in the US for the past 29 years and had children who are  US citizens.

It may take up to a month for the NVC to receive your case from USCIS. \n\nHow long has it been since your USCIS petition was approved?

990 to 999 sounds quite low, I wouldn't be surprised if it took longer, 10 years sound more accurate if you are a Mexican national, 5 years otherwise.\nUnfortunately, there is nothing that you can do except bring her illegally of course (everybody seems to do it :) ). \n\nRight now there is a V visa available for people who applied before December 21, 2000 and still did not get their permanent residency status. The visa allows them to come to US live and work while waiting for their visa number...\n\nIt's a sad reality but this is where is stands\n\nShe will not qualify for any non-immigrant status (i.e. students visa) since her immigration status is pending.
