A: The F2B visa category, which is for unmarried adult children (21 years or older) of U.S. permanent residents, generally has a processing time that varies depending on your country of origin. For applicants from Mexico, the wait times can be significantly longer than the average due to high demand. It is common for the processing to take several years, with current estimates ranging from 20 to 25 years.

The process begins with the filing of Form I-130 by your U.S. permanent resident parent. After that, the petition will be placed in a queue, and your priority date will determine your place in line. You will need to wait until your priority date becomes current according to the visa bulletin released by the U.S. Department of State.

It's important to regularly check the visa bulletin and consult with someone who can guide you through the process. You should also keep your address and contact information updated with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to ensure that you receive important notifications about your case.
