    The case is an FB-4, petition for the brother/sister of a USC. The I-130 approval is the first step, the next is filing for your IV.

    The filing date of Jan. 2004 is your priority date, which is like your place in line for the immigrant visa.

    You don't mention your home country, so I can't tell you the exact date but for most countries, the FB-4 is now processing for cases with a PD of Dec. 22, 1998, so another 5 years or so.

    After the PD is current, then you can file for the IV at the US consulate in your home country.
