I-130 for spouse | California SC | USC
Hi everyone,
very new to this community. I just need an honest guidance on how long the I-130 approval process takes. currently, the USCIS website shows 9 months for processing the case - Not sure how accurate it is.
do anyone have any guidance of getting approval within 12 months for CSC?

honest truth is.. this process takes way too long, so just put your patience together, and trust god with the process. today it shows I hit 9 months waiting for my case to be approved. very very long process.

at first my lower said its between 7 to 9 months to receive approval but I'm in 11 months waiting and after 11 months still nothing. I filed at 28 Dec 2021 California center. their estimated time is just a show and useless. be patient bcuz it's on ur luck. if u r lucky u will receive it on time and soon if not u have to wait for 1 year to receive that.

Guys, the processing times shows on the webpage are for “80% of the cases”, meaning that the other 20% can take longer with no limitations. There are many factors to actual/real processing times such as:
1) How complicated the case is, resulting in how much scrutiny needs to be done.
2) The service centers not processing cases in order filed.
3) The nature and/or time it took to respond to RFE’s.
4) The backlog at the local embassy where interview will be given. (USCIS may not quickly give a decision according to mentioned processing times if the applicant has to wait years to be scheduled for an interview. This is stated on their website).
bottomline, just relax and be patient. Nobody knows exact processing times.

there is no estimated time frame. but newer case likely approved in normal timeframe. hope you case will be approved on time.

we have a similar case pattern. filed March 25 2022 and got AR same day. transferred from Texas to California. it’s been 8 months and no reply. on my account it says 5 weeks left until I should be getting a reply, but many people say that processing times are inaccurate soooo whatever

I'm in same boat @lee nn submitted 8 months ago shows I have 3 weeks and when I first submitted same day moved from Texas to Vermont I think yours should get approved before mine I'm seeing CA ones get approved who submitted last sept
