It doesn't take years when it is a USC petitioning a parent. My brother who is a USC petitioned my mom 3 years ago and she received everything within 5 months. We are visa overstays. I know for EWI it is a different case, not too sure how it works when you are EWI.
Family Based
Some relatives of U.S. citizens, known as immediate relatives, do not have to wait for a visa to become available. There is no limit to the number of visas that can be utilized in this category in a particular year. Immediate relatives include:
Parents of a U.S. citizen
Spouses of a U.S. citizen
Unmarried children under the age of 21 of a U.S. citizen
