I have been told they auto-expedite petitions for couples who are living together abroad. So, if you meet that, you should get faster results. If you don't, it might take a while. We both reside in Canada and our I-130 was approved in 22 days. I've seen a few get done around that same time frame (20-40 days).

I have not been around this site long and am by no means an expert so please don't take my advice too seriously, there are many other members here who are much more intelligent and versed in this process than I am. I am just sharing what our experience was with the California center.

I did. My Senator, Congressman and lawyer have told us that USCIS has replied to them saying that we should hear something this week or next week! I don't know! :(

Stay positive, you will here from them soon. The day is getting closer :)

We live together in Canada too and have for 5+ years, and had to wait 6 months. Everything I read has said they stopped doing that a couple years ago. Sounds like you just got lucky.
