My husband in the USA is about to file a I-130 for myself and my 15 and 12 yr old children he called today to ask them how long it would take after he filed for us all for us to come to the USA they told him three months, I tried to tell him that not all cases are the same and it could be alot longer but he wont listen, he just takes the word of some person on the end of a phone,:scared: so does anyone know the average time for a person to wait after a spouse files at the CSC, I tried to read those timelime things and i cant make head nor tail of them, so if anyone could explain in simple terms it would be much appreciated thanks

Look at it this way: I've been waiting for almost 3 months for approval for my
wifes's I-129 K3 visa. Good luck.

It took our petition 40 days to get I-130 approved fron CSC (fairly quick concerning from what I had gathered from other people filing from CSC) and 4 months after that before we heard from the NVC. We talked to the NVC and they said to expect another 3 months before we would get an interview. So we went with a K-3 and are back together sooner than the I-130 would have took.
