Hello All,

I will be filing an I-130 petition with the intent to get my wife a IR-1 Immigrant Visa. Does anyone have an estimate of how long it takes from the filing of the I-130 petition to the issuing of the IR-1 Visa? I realize times vary, but am looking for a ballpark figure on the time it takes to process this type of application.

Thanks,

Riceman

Your I-130 petition might be approved relatively quickly, with a visa - 3 months, give or take.

Most likely your I-130 petition will be approved relatively quickly, with a visa - less than 3 months.

Wow, really? less than 3 months from filing -to- interview/Visa in hand?
