Spouse of a Green Card Holder? Prepare for a 10-Year Wait! ⏳

How many years will the spouse of a permanent resident who needs a provisional waiver take to become a lawful permanent resident if they file their i130 today?

And the answer is at least 10 years, that is considering the i130 processing times improve and are no longer 6 years. The visibility in wait time now is about 4 years and in addition it will be 4 years more for the provisional waiver.

And in addition, you'll need to factor processing the documents with nvc, which would be another six months to one year for an appointment at the consulate.
