Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Re: i 130

It depends on alot of factors as to how long the approval process takes. Often times, the USCIS wants to interview the petitioner and beneficiary prior to approving a petition, so that may cause a delay. However, many petitions are taking anywhere between 6 months to a year to be adjudicated.

If you wish the check the processing times of the petition, please go the USCIS' website at

https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp

Here, you can check the status of your petition as well as the processing times for the petitions.

If you have been waiting an unreasonably long time for the visa petition to be adjudicated, you should consider filing a mandamus action in federal court to compel the USCIS to adjuducate the application.
