:crying: :crying:

4-5months,,, and that's minimum??? :crying:

What do they do with a few pieces of paper!?

How efficient is the government!!!

Hi! All,

I am just wondering what factors determine the length of approval time.

I realized most petitioners have families, children, and other issues that need proof and investigation for USCIS; however, it seems some took less than one month and others took several months.

I wonder if the status of the petitioner and parents, such as marriage, divorce, death of spouse, siblings, and many other factors, affect the processing time for I-130?

I am USC, and have no marriage/divorce history, no kid; my parents are in their 50s, healthy, never had any other marriage, and I am the only child they have. Logically, mine should be processed sooner......

Please give your ideas. Thanks all!

Does I-130 need a "cover letter" at all?

I also petitioned for both of my parents, but I didn't send "cover letter"......

God bless you~

Hi! Just registered my account.

I am currently sponsoring my parents to come here to the US.

My parents got everything ready except for the police notarization certificate......Hopefully the process is going to be fast...
