Hello,

My brother, who is a U.S. citizen filed I-130 petition for our mother, father and me as his brother( I am under 21 years of age). Both my parents petitions went through, and now my mother is waiting for an interview date. Furthermore, my brother has put my name in her petition as a person, who will be immigrating with her. However, as I researched further I noticed that my case might have been placed in category F-4, which as far as I am aware takes a lot of time. So, my questions are do we need(can we?) to refile I-130 again, when my mother becomes permanent resident, so that the time required to obtain permanent residency will be shorter, since my brother included me in her petition? Am I actually placed in category F-4 under these circumstances?

Thanks in advance!
