    I hope you will reply me ASAP.

    I have a question. My Aunt filed i-130 for my Mom in 2009. In 2019, we got a E2 visa and it got approved. Currently we are living in United States since last 3 years and are just waiting for our i-130 form to be approved so we can be a permanent resident. I see the wait time is now 15 years which means we have to wait until 2025. We also can’t go anywhere outside United States because we got our business visa from here and if we go back to our country, we have to file the process again. My question is that is there any way to expedite this process or adjust our status because our whole family is already in United States on a valid visa.
