It depends on the I-130. Immediate relative petitions are approved generally within 6 months. Others can take over a year.

Approximately 5 months if an immediate relative. If not an immediate relative they often take years which is good for children who may age out.

It depends on what kind of a relative you filed for, your own status and how many other applicants are seeking the same benefit at that precise time (backlog). You can expect at least 6 to 12 months if not more. Good luck!

That depends upon which category you filed in or if you filed for an immediate relative (spouse, parent or child of USC). For the latter, normally about 5-6 months at DHS. For the former, it often sits for years without approved, because the applicants normally can't use the approved I-130 to apply for the green card for several years.

It could take up to 6 months to get the I-130 approved (and the entire process could take one year if he is outside the US).
