It varies, could be up to five years if you filed before 1998. Or it could be up to 10 years (maybe more, who knows?) if you filed in 2002. For intermediate years, the waiting time increases progressively.
All this under the assumption that the 10,000 quota is not modified, the President of the US timely approves the Presidential Determination every FY, and the INS effectively approves 10,000 visas every FY.*//
-----------
This ten years viewpoint has been repeated on this forum a couple of times.
I am wondering how come people get this conclusion. Have you known exactly the pending I-485 number in the INS backlog?
According to the INS Asylum Statistics,
Fiscal Year || Asylee Granted
2001 7839
2000 7295
1999 6871
1998 6714
1997 6538
Total: 35257
Currently the NSC is processing all the case filed by June 2,1998. Let\'s suppose all asylees granted in 1997 are still waiting adjustment, and 1/3 asylees have family member abroad reunion after granted date. Let\'s say the number 35257 then become ~50000~. So it is about 5 years for waiting if other conditions unchanged.
It\'s just my point. Any comment welcomed.
