I was thinking mine was going to be sent either to Nebraska or Vermont...not California. I'm in Ohio. When my brother sponsored his wife about 10 years ago...he dealt with Nebraska.

Based on the timeline entries on VJ...this is a estimate on when my I-130 application will be given a decision.

This changes daily as well.

This is only an ESTIMATE! 5 months is what the standard processing time for the I-130 application according to the official USCIS website.

Jazz--unfortunately it means little and is driven solely by what other folks on VJ enter into their time lines, so the dates can and do move around a lot--best bet is to ignore the dates unless you can handle them changing every few days--sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. In our case, we saw them stretch out over two weeks last week, and then shorten by three weeks just this week end. If you are obsessive, then don't look at them--all it will do is drive you crazy, but if you are more laid back, it is informative to know more or less what is going on out there.
