i have been sponsered by my brother in 2011 and he is US citizen .According to information it may take 10/12 years but i just want to be sure about my VISA . Is it sure or it may depend upon any criteria?
Generally speaking, it currently takes about 12-13 years to immigrate through the F-4 category for siblings of US citizens. An immigrant visa is not assured at the end although the percentage of success is very high. A factor that could come into play is President Trump's proposal that the category be abolished completely. Also the visa applicant must be of good moral character and not have incurred a bar to coming to the US such as convictions, fraud or misrepresentation, terrorism, communism, or even not passing the public charge ground which is being made much tougher by the president.
