It really depends what service center your I 130 is going through. California seems to faster than Vermont... In 2006, when I submitted our I 130 in California, it took about four to five months to be approved...

Good luck......

Approval of the I-130 is a lot faster than one year ago. Just recently a friend of the family petitioned for his son on August 19 (received) and the approval notice was sent out on September 29. So a little less than 2 months. This was through Vermont.

Hello,

Well we filed our i-130 in May 2009 and just received our approved notice in September. So it took 5 months for us, but for some its faster. Good luck.

They are def. moving things faster this year! Mine took 7 months last year, but I had to go to an interview at the local office and that adds time to your case.

WOW That was quick! What service center did you do through?

What do you guys mean by "service center"? I sent mine to a Chicago address. Actually, I think both addresses that it could be sent to were Chicago addresses. Did I do something wrong?
