How long does the I-130 petition process take and how long will it be until my relative can come to the US?

I know the time frame varies, mostly depending upon if you are a citizen or a lawful permanent resident. and i have read that Spouses of US citizens will usually get their green card in 6-12 months, while spouses of permanent residents may have to wait years. But how many years??? So in these years i cant get into the US??? I have to wait 3, 4 or 5 years to go there and be with my husband???

Answer:
When your spouse becomes a US Citizen, like within a year, that's when you'll become a resident. Go to http://www.uscis.gov/ that's where all the info it
i know people that have waited 10 years with immediate relatives in the US. it also greatly depends on what country you are coming from.
I am in the same situation as you. Are you applying in the USA or in an embassy? If you are applying through the US embassy, you can save yourself the trip because the laws have changed. Read this article for further information.

You can no longer apply for the I-130 petition in other countries, ONLY in the USA.
