Hi all! Im new here, but I am an American citizen, living in Europe. My husband in Czech. We sent in our I130 packet in April, I got the notification that it was received, and sent to the California processing center. I keep looking at all these processing time guides, and it seems to be taking too long to hear anything back about our potential approval... does anyone have any slightly more updated information??

Thank you!
