I-130 takes 52.5 Months?
Hello everyone.
In December of 2025 my wife and I got married. I since have had to leave the country as we did this on an ESTA. Then on July 31 st we finally submitted the l-130 form for an alien relative to come to the USA (thats me)
Today, we opened the USCIS processing times page and were absolutely devastated when it said that 80% of applications are processed within 52.5 Months... That's over 4 years. (Screenshot attached)
So, I am coming on here to ask. How accurate is that number, does anyone else here who is going through the same process or has gone through it before have experience with the timelines? Because another 4 years apart is absolutely brutal.
How long can we expect this to ACTUALLY take, and is there anything we can do to speed this up?
Thank you so much. Please feel free to ask any questions, |'I answer them to the best of my abilities
