My I 130 was finally approved on 6 December 2006, it had a receipt date of 13 September 2006. We are both very happy and relieved, although painfully aware that this is just the first step.

Thanks to all for all the support and information.

I've been looking around since I've been approved, and it looks like the average is about 2 weeks... although some unlucky people wait months. Let's hope it's fast :)
