Question about I-130

Hi everyone. I'm new to visajourney and I'm glad there's an online resource such as this to help in answering US immigration questions. Just a bit of info, me and my wife recently married Nov of last year. We miss each other so much and although there's the internet\facebook\skype to help, it's not the same as having the person you love the most right next to you as most of the members here can relate.

Since US immigration processes can be tricky, I didn't want to take chances and so I went with the services of a local reputable law firm to file her I-130 application. The para legal sent off the package Jan 25 and I asked her yesterday how long it would take to get a notification and she said it typically takes 4 weeks. Judging from the timelines I've seen here, NOA1 (if I'm using this term wrong, please correct me) should take no more than a week or two. Does it really take 4 weeks? Also what's the next step from here?

Thanks in advance :)

Welcome!

It shouldn't take 4 weeks, but sometimes with mail delays it can take close to that, so they probably say 4 weeks so their clients don't bug them beforehand :)

Have a look at the VJ Guides to know what comes next and how you can prepare: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1
