What happens after I-130 approval?
I’m currently waiting for my husbands I-130 to be approved. filed September 2023. curious as to what happens next and how long it will actually take for him to get a visa. What is the timeline between I-130 approval and your spouse actually being able to come to the U.S.? Also I’m lost as to what the next steps are. Any insight would be much appreciated
