Firstly, DO NOT WRITE IN ALL CAPS

 

2nd, have you researched the process?

You are well within processing time.

 

I would suggest reading the guides and checking immigrations timelines.

You can view my timeline, even though we're not the same country, it'll give you a general idea.

On average, it takes a year or more after you file for a CR-1 visa.  The waiting is difficult, I know.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Did you receive a Notice of Action at least, that says that your case was accepted?

MY husband live in mexicali mexico i visit him i try every weekend but im tire of driving

 

It is tough, but many of us are in the same shoes. Some of us only see our spouse once in a few months. In my case, I only see my husband once every 6 months because the nature of my work is such that I only get time off every 6 months. And it's over 20 hours by flight to reach him. Take some time to look at the various threads here and you won't feel that much alone :)
