I recently became a citizen and i did an I130 Upgrade for my spouse.Can anyone say how long before service center approves my case? Also i am currently unemployed and collecting unemployment benefits;will this be a problem when im ready to produce affidavit of support?..i know i may have to get a co-sponser which im prepared and will work hard to get a job too.

Thanks for all your answers.

My LPR husband file I130 form me on 2007, on 8/21/09 he became a USC and they sent my approval a month later.

About the affidavit question... you have to be able to proof to USCIS that your wife will be economically supported.. you'll have to find co-sponsors
Good Luck!

You will have to be the primary sponsor irrespective of your job status. That means, even if you make no money at this time you will have to submit an I-864. Obviously, you would need a co-sponsor to make the required amount.
