Hello! My Canadian husband just got approved for his I-130 after 14 months! What are the next steps? Can anyone tell me about how long it takes from now till he is finally home in the states??

Yes he was born in Canada. We try to get everything paid and taken care of as soon as it is requested. Thank you again for your help!

Yes he is a Canadian citizen. Thank you! Fingers crossed it is fast! Do you know how long everything generally takes once the I-130 is approved?

Hi, My husband had initially filed for an adjustment of status in the US and had left the country to go to Canada on the approval of our lawyer. She did not tell him that he would not be allowed to re-enter. The entire process was thrown out when we got to the border and he was not allowed back in. We got a new lawyer and had to change the process to consular processing. We have been in separate countries for a year now and there seems to be no changes or moves in the I-130. Has anyone else had to go through this, where they changed from adjustment of status to consular processing? And if so, how long did it take to approve the I-130 and move on to the next steps? We filed in Aug,2023. My husband is a medical student and has had everything on pause and missed 2 cycles of residency applications. If anyone can give some insight, that would be great!
