Good Day all VJers,

I called the USCIS Customer help number today since it has been over 5 months since they had recieved my I-130 (I am a USC applying for an unmarried step-son under the age of 21). The operator said that this service center was processing this type of application with a priority date of June 16, 2011. So it appears it is taking an average of 6 months to have an I-130 processed from the CA service center. I am expect that this service center will become further backlogged with the coming Holidays.

Patience is paramount in this process. There can be a billion reasons as to why your application will take longer or move along faster. In my experience, I've always beat the posted processing times by about a month. But I've known others who've languished with no end in sight. It's crazy.
