If you recently got approved or recently received your interview date then I want to hear from you. How long did it take, the entire process from when you filed?

My friend, who's wife just came from Pakistan 2 weeks ago, says that he filed 10 months ago but I didn't hear anything like that from other friends and relatives. They are all saying something like 12-14 months and that's without any checklist or problems etc. I noticed that people from different countries are getting their i130 approved much quicker then ours. So, I'm assuming the waiting time is different for different countries. Am I right?

In pakistan it depends on luck some people approved i-30 in one month some people approved from pakistan more than one year. In my case i was approved i-30 in 30 days. Now i am waiting for my case complete at NVC. Yes its true some people got visa from pakistan in less than year. Some people did not get visa approve more than year because they went to administrative processing. So you should be well prepare very honest and good paperwork at the time of interview. So GOODluck
