Have you all notified USCIS that your father is a US citizen now?

Yes, he's hired an attorney and I think that might be done. He had this pledge of allegiance ceremony in October 2018, so most probably the USCIS knows as well.

I ask him to ask the attorney if any changes needs to be done to my application after he became a US citizen. The attorney replied no.

PS - I am born and brought up in India. 30 years of age. Never been to US. Postponed my marriage plans since father said I would get GC in 2022 if I stay unmarried, it may fall to 2027 if I get married (He's insisting me to get married now, BTW)

I still would have your attorney make sure that USCIS knows that you are now being sponsored as the son of a US citizen.

Thanks for pointing this out, Peter.

I am going to spur my father and the attorney into action next week.

But I am still interested to hear your estimate.

GC filed when father was GC holder -> Nov 2017

Father becomes naturalized US citizen -> October 2018

Approximately when would I get my Green Card, do you think?

Also, can you picture any political scenario affecting my GC, either for worse or for better?

Thanks a lot. Appreciate this.

WhatsApped father if USCIS knows he's a US citizen. He replied 5 min ago - "USCIS gave me citizenship and one of their officers gave me oath."(sic)

That's different from notifying the adjudicating arm of USCIS.

I got the point now. Updated the correct question to my father. I will make sure he gets in touch with attorney next week over this.

However, would you please advise on how long it would take for me to get my GC, in your fair estimate? An approximation would do. Also, any political change that might affect my application?

I am born and brought up in India. 30 years of age. Bachelors of Engineering degree with 3 years of work ex in IT. Unmarried yet for GC.

2022/2023

Million thanks for this, Peter :)

Did you check online. They have a estimated wait time for different category of visa based on relationship, citizenship etc. Also visajourney.com is a chat board where other people in similar situation track their progress so you can look up the trend there.

Thanks for this brilliant info. Is there an official government website to check wait times?

The visa bulletin shows wait times and is updated on a monthly basis. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/v...

And here is general information on the how to figure out your priority dates. https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/visa-availability-priority-d...

I'd suggest you also scope out visajourney.com though it is not official. https://www.visajourney.com/content/times/

But if you have a lawyer then they should be able to look this all up.

Thanks a lot, mate :) Much appreciated

I'll see if I can still find the official links.

USCIS has quite a bit of information here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrat...
