How Long Does the I-130 Petition Process Take?

C

September 2, 2024

The timeline for the I-130 process depends on two major factors:


The field office that receives your Form I-130

The type of family relationship in question on your application

Here are the general guidelines regarding how long an approval can take. However, keep in mind that each case varies on an individual basis.


Immediate relatives of a Green Card holder (parent, spouse, or child): between 13.5 and 19 months

Immediate relatives of a U.S. citizen: between 10 and 14 months

Siblings of U.S. citizens: between 13.5 months and 20 years

As you can see, you need to file your I-130 petition right away. The sooner you file, the sooner you have a chance of getting approval.
