we already hired an attorney to help and make sure there won't be any problems, but it took over 1 month just to get to information right on the application to send to the immigration office. Now they have my 130 paperwork, but refused my 129 paperwork because they said they recently "updated" it. Is this going to be the way it's going to be throughout the entire process. I was told by a officer at the immigration place when I called that the process is easy and takes 6-9 months. All the attorneys I talked with say 7-8 months average. But I also hear different imformation, that the process can get complicated and be 2 years or more. What is your experience doing this?

sorry to hear your problem. my wife is chinese. i sent an I130 to the national visa center and an I129F to uscis. both were approved. but the difference is that the I130 is for your wife to get her green card while she is still in china. and the I129F is for her to get her visa to come to the u.s. sooner than the I130 and then pursue the green card after she gets here. my wife and i send in for her visa oct. 2005 and she got her spousal visa in may 2006. remember, you are dealing with 2 different federal agencies. we looked on the website for uscis.gov for all our information and didn't hire an attorney. if your attorney is that bad, then you should maybe try another one. also uscis provided us with names of people that helped us fill out the forms for $50.

she will definitely practice. her probabilities of being accepted are very low. principally because it takes as much as a yr to approach the bureaucracy and get her a visa to to migrate legally to the US. so the temptation to make use of the vacationer visa to stick completely may be very top. should you are living in China, you will have to appear into submitting an immigrant petition there with USCIS.

If you are talking about trying to get a K-3 visa for your spouse, it takes forever. She is nearly more likely to have her green card interview before the K-3 issues.
