Hello,
I am Permanent Resident (PR). I got married last year (July, 2004). I was told that it will take 4-5 yrs to bring my wife to the US, so me and my wife decided to wait till I got my citizenship, hopefully later this year.
On the USCIS website, for California Service Center, the I-130 processing time for "Permanent resident filing for a spouse or child under 21", and it states "Dec 22, 2004". I remember this date being much much earlier. For other centers, this date is much much earlier (like 2001, 2002 etc.)
I am a bit confused, does this mean that something has changed recently for Cal center and now it does not take as long to bring one's spouse ( of a PR ) living abroad to the US? Or is this a typo? Can someone please tell me when this changed?
What are the forms that I need to file to, at the very least, bring my wife over to US.
Thank you,
Aha.
