Good Day! My husband is a permanent resident and he filed a petition last june this year. We haven't recieve any approval yet. How long will we received the approval?

I'm sorry, buy if he is a permanent resident (not citizen), he is not eligible to file for a fiancé visa. Also, if you are married - that's another reason you wouldn't qualify.

I'm confused your post is in k1 but you call him your husband, k1 is for fiancé to marry in America. Him being a lpr it will take around 2 years to get a visa for his spouse( my husband best friend is a lpr and he petitioned his wife earlier this year) and lpr can not do k1 at all he would have to wait until he becomes a USC

So that people here will be able to understand your situation more.

If your significant other is your fiance and a permanent resident, he cannot file for a K1 (fiance) visa; only US citizens can file for a K1 visa.

If he is your husband, your case can take up to 2yrs to get a visa because you would fall under the F2A visa category, since he is only a permanent resident. The initial i-130 petition will take up to 5 months to be approved. After that, you would have to wait for your priority date to be current before you are able to get a visa.

It's ok I'm still in the process of learning as well. My husband friend is a lpr(same as your husband) and even know he's summited his wife's application and was approved he is waiting until the priority date becomes available. Depending on your country it's around a 2 year wait for lpr. Edited to add my husband friend received the approval letter fast I think it was a few months if I'm not mistaken but he still must wait until a date can be available

Some people get their i-130 petition approved faster than others; it really depends on which service center your case is being processed at. Some get approved as fast as 30 days, while others wait more than 5 months. Just be patient and your time will come... besides, you still have quite a long wait ahead of you for a visa. Even though your friend got his petition approved quickly, he will still have to wait almost 2yrs for a visa to be available for his wife... and the same will be for you because your husband is just a permanent resident.

The I-130 approval is just the first step. It doesn't matter how long it takes up be approved because you still have to wait for a visa to be available for you. And the current wait is around 2 years for spouses of LPRs. So even if the I-130 is approved quickly, it means nothing. You still have to wait. Either you wait at USCIS or you wait at the NVC. Waiting is still waiting.
