Processing time for I-130

[cctox 0]

Hello,

 

I am new to this forum and have a quick question to ask in regards to I-130 form. I am a US citizen married with a danish guy. Since we are both living in DK at this time, we have to go through the US embassy in Stockholm. I was doing a little bit of research and it looks like it takes a little bit more than a year for them to schedule an interview? I would like some information about how long should we expect to wait until we get everything sorted out! I am sorry if this is a frequently answered question... we just big plans going on and i know the process will be tedious. 

Thanks in advance!

About a year is the likely time period for the process, scheduling the interview is a bit before the end..

We filed from Sweden in March 2017, still waiting for the approval from USCIS. 

All I've heard that at least a year before it's all finished and one can move.

 

And you have to file at the Lockbox location. We looked to file in Stockholm or in London, but that's a no.

Thank you so much for the info...

Processing the I-130 is called "adjudicating".  An approved I-130 comes approximately 60 to 70% of the way through the "visa process".  Time to start studying what happens AFTER the I-130 is approved.

We are getting very excited, being close to an approval of the I-130! Starting to prepare everything we can
