Re: average waiting time

The Vermont Service Center is currently reporting processing I-130s for LPRs who filed for spouses in October 2005. If you think you are close to being naturalized, you may want consider re-filing then together with I-485 to have your spouse adjust status immediately if she is in the U.S. If not, then K-3 may be an option. Without refiling as a USC, normally you would not speed up the process with an I-130 filed by you as an LPR. Consult an immigration attorney to review your situation for advice.

The above reply is in the nature of general information, is not legal advice and should not be relied on as such.
