If you sent the I-130 on 06/24 then it hasn't been 2 months and 10 days, it's only been almost 2 weeks. It takes about a month or so to get an NOA1 (a notification letting you know that they've received it). And depending on the service center, it may take between 3-6 months for the approval.

It probably went to the Vermont Service Center which means it can take up to 6 months or so. You can check other people's Timelines (via the Timeline Search) who filed around the same date you did to get an idea of how long you will have to wait for your approval.

It could be 6 months or more, or it could take less than 6 months, there's no specific amount of time. It all depends on how backed up they are, how many petitions they received, how many people they have working on each petition, how complicated each petition is, etc.

For now, there are two service centers that handle I-129Fs, the Vermont Service Center and the California Service Center. People send their petitions to the service center they belong to depending on where they live. So for example, you can't live in NY and send it to the CSC, you'd have to send it to the VSC.

In theory, based on what we've seen here on VJ and what people report back to everyone based on their timelines is that the VSC is for the most part a lot slower than the CSC. It's almost always been that way.

USCIS POSTED GUIDELINES for CSC and VSC are six months. 180 days.

IF you get approved prior to 180 days, it's a blessing.

There's NOTHING you can do, at this point, to speed things along, as there's a queue.

Be patient, wait.
