So now how long do I have to wait for them to contact me?
If I see your profile correctly, you filed your I-130 sometime in late November or early December, is that right? So this receipt you received is your Notice of Action1 (NOA1)? If this is so, you will be waiting a good 3-4 months, before you receive a second NOA, which will be your approval notice. In the meantime, you should read the guides to see what option(s) are available to you. You can, if you wish, file another petition, called the I-129F, include a copy of your NOA1 for your I-130, which sets in motion your pursuing a K-3 non-immigrant visa for your spouse. All this is explaid in the guides, here:

Please fill in your timeline when you get a chance.
You can do so by clicking here:
