Need help on I130 visa
hi i am from india and my wife is an american citizen. My wife cam e to india and we got married in india . She then went back and filed a petition for an I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN visa on september 2002 . The INS has sent lot of documents to my wife and she has paid processing fees as well and even i got a of documents from them asking for a confirmation of address proof. it is nearly a year now and still we are not sure as to how long it will take as there is no concrete answer. It will be great if someone can tell me how long it normally takes for the INS to process a II30 visa ????.thanks in advance

K-3 allows you 2 years before you have to come over and marry. It also gives you multible entries. You wouldnt have to immediately quit your job. I-30 takes way too long, it is why the K-3 was invented!

So you have filed through the Vermont service center? Their processing times are now September 2002, so it looks like your wait is almost up. I have a friend you file her husband's I-130, also at Vermont, in August 2002, and they were approved about a month ago. So hang in there - if all goes well, it shouldn't be long now!

I filed an I-130 for my wife on Oct 24th and was approved a couple of weeks ago. I filed at VSC. So if your wife also file there, the approval should be somewhere around the corner, unless there have been any RFE's on the way.
