I filed I 130 for my wife. I am a US citizen and my wife lives in Lebanon. USCIS received our petition on Feb 11, 2015. Current processing time on the website is 5 months and so I am hoping to hear from them by July 11th. Any advise from the group would be kindly appreciated

Do not get too focused on processing times.

Hi! Welcome to the VJ community.

My first advise would be get ready for the next step. Go to the wiki and read as much as you can, so you get familiar with all the terminology and stuff.Then you can start getting all the documents you will need to present to NVC such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, police records (The wiki will tell you what you need in detail.) Also start collecting what you will need to prove your relationship is not a fraud. (Again here, go to the wiki link in this page and read!)

And last, but not least, always keep in mind that every case is different. You can always get an estimate of times by viewing other member's timelines but in the end its just that, an estimate. So just be patient and keep positive.

Goodluck man. I went in this proccess last year. My wife is American citizen and I am Lebanese. You and your wife should know that this is a hard and long process, full of unexpected things. I am in te US now. Our whole process from the date of submitting the I-130 till the day I entered the US took 9 month. If you need any help or question just ask me. I will be more than glad to help you.

Goodluck.

The immigration process caused me PTSD.
