unmarried son in June 9th 2009,who is in the US by marriage, which has ended

Sorry, this is confusing ?!?

Anyway, the wait time for Unmarried sons and daughters (21 years of age or older) of U.S. citizens is 6-7 years. Maybe you should check back in 2015 or so.

I-130 can take a couple of years to approve for unmarried children over 21. My mom (LPR) has applied I-130 in July 2003 and it got approved in June 2005. Hope this helps..
So dont get panic.

The reason why it states "Initial review" because there is no purpose of approving your I-130 at this time. It won't make you eligible for immigration benefits. You still need to wait for priority date to become current. Sorry for being blunt, but that's the reason why they don't approve your I-130 immediately.
