Hi

Can someone pls tell me the wait time for a green card to be issued.

My father is a USC ( born and lived in the states all his life ).

I am 34 yrs old and single, never married and his only biological child.

I was never legitimized so therfore I lost my citizenship.

Thank You

Nobody can tell you the exact wait time since that information is not available. However, I can tell you that you are 1st family preference and they are currently processing immigrant visas for most of these people who applied in January 2003

Table here: Visa Bulletin
It's updated every month.

Dunno! Got a PhD in nanotechnology? Or half a million bucks lying about somewhere? You'll have to give some clues here!

Yeah, marry an American citizen. The marriage must look legit and they're getting better and better at spotting phony ones. The system is a mess, don't expect anything to get better, that's America (USA) for ya, it's living off it's once great reputation ...... Zoom

Sadly there are no legal shortcuts for you.

As we have seen with so many people it is better to just accept the waiting time and actually get on the list rather than to find ways around it.

The longer you wait, the longer it takes.

You never know, during that time you may become rich!

Best wishes to you
