My I-130 notice has priority date of Apr,4th 2000 and I will be eligible to apply for a V visa in Apr'03 . I am presently in the U.S and would like to know the procedure for applying for a V-Visa ?
And also presently how much time does it take to get one?

If you are applying while in US you must submit:

(i) Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, with the fee required by § 103.7(b)(1)

(ii) The fingerprint fee as required by § 103.2(e)(4)

(iii) Form I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status, without the vaccination supplement; and

(iv) Evidence of eligibility as described by Supplement A to Form I-539 and described below.

Evidence. Supplement A to Form I-539 provides instructions regarding the submission of evidence. An alien applying for V nonimmigrant status with the Service should submit proof of filing of the immigrant petition that qualifies the alien for V status. Proof of filing may include Form I-797, Notice of Action, which serves as a receipt of the petition or as a notice of approval, or a receipt for a filed petition or notice of approval issued by a local district office.

Note, that you may also apply for employment authorization.
