Heres my little timeline

Born in Jalisco Mexico Nov. 1995

Immigrated without inspection to California in May 1998

Married my wife a U.S. citizen Jan. 2014

Attorney told me i had 180 days after my 18th bday to leave and not be responsible for my unlawful presence since i was just 2

The i130 was filed in Feb. 19 2014

I left the U.S. May 3rd 2014 just two days before the 180 days were up.

I got my passport stamped at the Guadalajara Airport to prove that i left the U.S.

We were put to the nebraska center. I just want this process to be over already i hate the lifestyle here in Mexico i feel so lost even though i speak excellent spanish but life is nothing like the U.S.. before i left i finished my second semester of college working to be a civil engineer. I wish goodluck to everyone and hope that we all get approved soon.

Good luck, compatriota! You may find it helpful to select "Portals" and choose "Mexico" in order to find fellow countrymen's experiences. You could have also applied for DACA, but the lawyer probably advised you that the way to go was what you chose. As far as waiting times, I have heard from 6 months to years. Again, browse through the forums to find people with similar experiences and best wishes!
