What to expect after I-130 filed to service center?

[Immi2001]

I have just filed I-130 for my parents in China. The I-130 was filed to the California service center. How long will it be normally before I can hear anything back from the service center?

Thanks

They won't process it untill, the priority dates are current.
If its current, then you can see the processing time of I-130 at uscis.gov.Look under your service center.

Priority Date

Visa Numbers for parents of US citizens are ALWAYS current, so you don't have to wait for a visa number...
