D. Fourth Preference
The Fourth Preference category is reserved for brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens. Note that a U.S. citizen must be at least age 21 to petition for siblings. This category has the most significant backlogs. Currently applicants from most countries have waited twelve years; however, for the Philippines the wait has been twice that amount. Once permanent residents obtain U.S. citizenship, they sometimes petition for other family members. Since so many people have obtained their citizenship during the intervening years, it is expected that the backlogs in this category will continue to grow and reach thirty years or longer.
