Well you can estimate that from the visa bulletin. If your parents become citizens it should speed things up BTW.

i got it from the site of us embassy here in manila, how true is this...
"For F2B applicants (unmarried son/daughter of a permanent resident), their F2B petitions are automatically converted to the F1 category retaining the original priority date when their petitioners naturalize. Because of unique circumstances, the waiting period for the F1 category is longer than the F2B category in the Philippines. However, under Section 6 of the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), the applicant (not the petitioner) can request exemption from the automatic conversion of the visa category from F2B to F1 by submitting to the Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS/USCIS) a written statement that he/she elects to have such conversion revoked. The applicant may send the written request for retention of his/her F2B category to the DHS/USCIS office in Manila by fax at 522-4362 (Attn: Officer-in-Charge) or by mail: DHS/USCIS, U.S. Embassy, 1201 Roxas Boulevard, Ermita, 0930 Manila.

Ah, you didn't say you were from the Phillipines. In that case, ignore what I said above.

PHILIPPINES FB1 22JAN92 FB2B 01OCT96 in the past year (march 2006 - march 2007) the philippines FB2B as advanced 3 months (08JUL96). in two years (march 2005) 13 months (15SEP95). you are looking at a 10+ year wait unless major advancements are made.
