There is no time requirement for adjudicating a visa petition. More than one year is generally considered an unreasonable period of time. After one year, a petitioner can file a federal lawsuit against the government asking a federal judge to issue a writ of mandamus. This writ requires that the agency make a decision (approve or deny) within a specified period of time thereafter. If you've been waiting for over three years, you may want to contact a lawyer and consider suing the government.
