How long is the process of I-130 petition for parent?

[0306 0]

I'm an USC and I would like to petition for my mother to come to America. She is currently living in Hanoi. Has anyone here gone through this process? How long does it take from the day of starting the application to when she receive her immigrant visa?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Parents are Immediate Relatives and there is never any wait for visa numbers. The petition takes a few months to get approved, and the Consular Processing process takes a few months; that's why it's a year.

No, you are the first person to petition for a parent. LOL. Of course. There are lots of people who have gone through the process of bringing a parent to the US. Many of us are Vietnamese too. How long does it take from the day of starting the application to when she receive her immigrant visa? About 1 year.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
