Permanent Resident Filed Spouse I-130 in California - Approval Time

USA I-130 Processing Time
1

Hi,
I am permanent resident and I applied for my wife in March 2018 and got receipt in the same month. It has been more than year can you please tell me when will she get approval? Our center is California center. She is from Pakistan

California service center is taking about 2 years to approve I-130 applications filed by Green card holders for their spouse.

You can expect your wife’s case approval by Dec 2019 end.

and how much time will it take more to get here after case approval?

4

That will depend on your wife’s country of birth Green card priority date queue.

USCIS updates the family Immigration dates every month.

5

Her country of birth is Pakistan. Any idea now?

You can check current date in USCIS bulletin here:

so from now should I keep an eye on case processing time or visa bulletin?

First step is to get I-130 approval.

Hi @Amna

All forum members are same for me. I do not have any grudges with anyone.

Its just that when i start giving my estimates, i start getting too many comments asking the same question.

I don’t really have time to estimate each individual case.

Thanks for your understanding.

I understand. I apologize if you felt that way. Its just that we’re all looking for some hope as its hard for us to be so distant from our loved ones and our lives are at hold.

Hi @Amna
I understand each and every person’s concern who visits our site in the hope of getting information of case approvals.

I try to answer each and every question that can help you. But, estimates take too much time and it is not possible to do it without getting paid for it.

I hope you understand.
