I-130 sent 2002, approved August 2005, now what?

I sent an application for my brother and sister in 2002, just a couple of weeks ago I received a letter thet the application had been APPROVED. And that the paperwork had been forwarded to the American Embassy in Bogota.

Apparently the embassy will contact us and have us fill out additional information.

Nothing is definite, what happens next and how much longer will it take before visa is approved?

thanks for any info

What? You filed I130s for them in 2002 and they have been approved and now they are sending them to Bogota? If this happens you will have somehow bypassed the 10 year wait for siblings. I am curious to see what happens next. Please keep us posted.

Application approved No, I don't think we are that lucky of having bypassed anything. I think I still have long ways to.

Application was only approved. Which to me, doesn't mean much progress. Again any information would be appreciated.

I130 Category 4 approval Hi Mamey. I also applied for my sister back in 2002. In August I submitted some requested paperwork establishing familial relationship. On sept 2nd I received an approval notice where it also informed me that the case was now referred to the department of state for visa availability and that we should hear from them in less than 90 days. The visa bulletin is currently showing feb/1994. Does this mean we must wait another 7 or 8 years?
