No way to accurately predict the time, but fortunately you are in the California center which has been moving a little faster than Vermont recently. Assume 5 - 6 months in total, and be positively surprised when it comes in under 5 !!!

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

really? give it 11 more days? would i know something by then?

No, Darnell was making a joke. As others have said, there is no way for any of us to tell how much longer it will take. You simply have to keep your chin up and wait. We waited 178 days and I counted each and every one of them

Good luck

soo i contact USCIS customer service...they tell me i have to wait another 45 days??? why is that...june 30 will be officialy 5 months..

They have to say something; the person yhou are talking to is giving you a best estimate. They do not process the applications themselves. Keep calling, it seems silly to do this but you will find out quicker if you call to ask what the status is. I have never officially been told that my case is complete by way of a letter or an email but it is complete and I know this because I started calling them. Now I am calling them every day for my interview date which should be comong up in July.

Our I130 was sent in Oct 13 2010 and was approved Mar 30th 2011. It slow but eventaully you will get there just like the rest of us.

Good Luck.:dance:
