Unfortunately it takes about 10+ years for an individual to complete the process under the F-4 category. Currently those who applied before December 8, 2001, are going through the final immigration phase. There is no truth to the rumor that a person will be able to immigrate under this category in 5 – 6 years.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
