What is your experience? I'm briefly looking through a number of time lines here and I'm seeing an average of 6 months from the time of sending off the I130. I will be filing mine as soon as I return back to California in a month. Assuming I'm on the ball with everything and filing with California centers, is it safe to say that visa approval may happen in 6 months??? Has it been shorter for anyone? I'm in the UK and for their spouse visa we had an option to use a expediter which quickened the process by months. Is there a similar option here? Thanks guys!

See my timeline below. This process is very difficult and alot is left to chance so no one can really say how long your petition will take. If your case is straightforward and you don't make any mistakes and they don't make any mistakes (example loosing your petition) then it should be 6-9 months.
